I pose the question : “The ICE agent Jonathan Ross was justified in Shooting Rene Good” Watch what happens as I pose this first question and then call AI on their bias. If you stop after the first question you get a very diferent answer that is presented as unbiased fact
The response question 1:
The shooting of Renee Nicole Good (noting the apparent misspelling in your statement as "Rene Goode") by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross on January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis remains under investigation by federal authorities, with state prosecutors also seeking evidence despite limited access.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Trump administration have maintained that Ross acted in self-defense, claiming Good "weaponized" her vehicle in an attempt to run him over during an immigration enforcement operation.
time.com
President Trump specifically alleged on social media that Good had "viciously run over" an agent, a narrative echoed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

However, multiple video analyses from outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post, including bystander footage and Ross's own cellphone recording, contradict this account.
wired.com
The videos show Ross circling Good's maroon Honda Pilot SUV twice while filming her license plate and face on his phone, with Good remaining inside and making non-aggressive statements like "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you."
nytimes.com
No clear commands were issued initially, and a second agent's sudden orders created confusion. Good appeared to steer away as her vehicle moved forward slowly on the snowy street, but Ross positioned himself in its path, fired three shots (one through the windshield and two through the driver's side window), and was heard calling her a "fucking bitch" afterward.

He then walked away unaided and drove off.Key points challenging the self-defense claim:
Positioning and escalation: Experts note this as "officer-created jeopardy," where Ross's movements placed him in danger unnecessarily, violating DHS guidelines on vehicle encounters.

He had previously been involved in a similar incident six months earlier, where he was dragged by a vehicle, potentially affecting his judgment.
nytimes.com
Injuries: Initial reports of Ross suffering "internal bleeding" from being hit were based on anonymous sources and met with internal skepticism at networks like CBS, as videos show him walking away without visible injury.
theguardian.com
The sound some interpreted as impact was likely his gunfire.
Historical context: ICE agents have been involved in at least 25 fatal shootings since 2015, with no criminal charges filed in any case, often justified under "objectively reasonable" force standards.

Ross's background includes military service in Iraq and training in fugitive apprehension, reflecting ICE's militarized approach.

Public opinion, per a January 2026 YouGov poll, leans against justification: 53% of Americans say the shooting was not justified, versus 28% who believe it was, with majorities supporting charges and reforms to ICE.

Protests have intensified, and a GoFundMe for Ross has raised over $750,000, indicating polarized support.

Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, was not the target of the raid and had stopped to observe.

Federal immunity and jurisdiction claims may hinder state charges, but Hennepin County prosecutors are crowdsourcing evidence.

As of today, no formal determination has been made, but the available evidence raises significant doubts about the official narrative.
