New York Gov. Hochul Warns Against Redeploying ICE Agent Who Killed Renee Good in Minneapolis without Review
The move comes as federal and state probes remain stalled, with no charges filed and critics saying the reassignment delays accountability.
- On Thursday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul demanded that federal "border czar" Tom Homan confirm whether Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross has been reassigned to New York State.
- Ross fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation; after only three days of administrative leave, he was quietly reassigned to an unidentified state.
- Democratic lawmakers, including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sarah McBride, and Ilhan Omar, condemned the reinstatement as "absolutely outrageous," arguing the move shields the agent from accountability while the federal investigation remains stalled.
- Federal officials maintain the shooting was justified, claiming Good posed a threat with her vehicle; however, no criminal charges have been filed against Ross and internal disciplinary actions remain on hold.
- Governor Hochul is pursuing legislative measures to restrict federal immigration enforcement within the Empire State, aiming to avoid a "Minnesota-style crackdown" while addressing resident concerns about federal tactical overreach.
