    While many expressed outrage over Jonathan’s actions, his father Ed Ross came forward and claimed he couldn’t “be more proud” of his son.

    “She hit him,” Jonathan’s 80-year-old father from North Perkin, Illinois, told the Daily Mail.

    “He also had an officer whose arm was in the car. He will not be charged with anything,” he added.

    Jonathan goes by the name Jon and is married to a 38-year-old wife, born to Filipino parents.

    His father described him as a devout Christian and dedicated family man.

    “You would never find a nicer, kinder person,” Ed said about his Jon. “He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn’t be more proud of him.”

    The father said Jon’s wife was a US citizen but did not elaborate on how long she’s been in the country.

    “I do not want to go any further than that,” he told the outlet.

    It is believed Jon married his Asian wife in 2012, and her parents are doctors living in the Philippines.

    The Iraq war veteran has been living on the outskirts of Minneapolis since 2015 and is serving on the special response team of ICE’s enforcement and removal operation.

    “The wife is polite, very nice, very outgoing, while he’s very reserved. They have a couple of kids,” said a resident living in his 10-house cul-de-sac.

    The neighbor described Jon as a staunch MAGA supporter, whose property often had far-right symbols on display.

    Pro-Trump flags and the ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ Gadsden flag, commonly associated with far-right political movements, were recently seen waving on his property.

    “I think he’s in the military. He has a military license plate,” the neighbor said. “He had a don’t tread on me flag, and Trump/Vance stickers up during the election.”

    Comment by Isaac Tsakalos expressing opinion about an ICE agent’s partner amid controversy in a social media post.

    Although officials attempted to keep the ICE agent’s identity under wraps, they mentioned that he was seriously injured in a June incident involving a male immigrant.

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem said they were “not going to expose the name of this officer,” but she noted that he was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June 17 incident.

    Records revealed that Jon was part of the team confronting an undocumented immigrant and had tried to open the vehicle’s door during the encounter. But the immigrant sped off, dragging Jon with him.

    Comment discussing the father of ICE agent who slew Renee Nicole Good amid immigrant wife bombshell controversy.

    In a statement following Renee’s passing, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the officer who fatally struck her was part of a June 17 operation targeting an undocumented immigrant, who was convicted in a 2023 of felony s**ual as**ult on a minor.

    Tricia said Jon suffered “abrasions all over his body” and needed dozens of stitches following the encounter with the immigrant, identified as Roberto Carlos Muñoz.

    “You can see, when you’re making these kind of split-second decisions,” she said on Thursday, “you can see why he would be in fear of his life.”

    Renee had recently moved to Minneapolis with her wife and was fatally struck just a few blocks away from her house.

    On the day of her passing, Renee’s blood-covered wife was seen sobbing next to her crashed car and blaming herself for making her “come down here.”

    “They just sh*t my wife,” she was heard saying. “…They sh*t her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school.”

    Renee was previously married to Timmy Ray Macklin Jr. and welcomed a son, now 6, with him.

    Timmy passed away at the age of 36 in 2023.

    “I suggest let’s send her back to the Philippines. And send him with her,” one commented online, “…Deport his wife”

    As soon as someone uses the defence of being a "devout Christian", as if that somehow means they could not possibly be in the wrong regardless of anything else, you know they are likely an ahole

    Like how do we know she wasn’t also a devout Christian and loving person? W*f does that excuse? Did Jesus say shoot people if they do something you don’t like?? Being a “devout Christian” is not a legit ‘get out of jail free’ card.

    I’m glad he said “conservative Christian” rather than “Christian” . It’s an important distinction as one follows God and the other invokes his name to do the most unchristian like things possible. Such as m****r innocent people

    This is going to start more riots because of the attempted cover up by the orange in charge. People forgetting that there are cameras everywhere and videos have already made it into the public that shows this was definitely not self defence.

    Stop using the phrase " fatally struck ", the phrase is " shöt in the head and kîlled". We're not children here, lets talk like adults.

    No, let’s tell it like it actually is. M****R. He m******d a woman, shot her in cold blood, in the face and head, as she was just moving her car to leave—-which is what ICE wanted her to do in the first place. Besides, ICE was trespassing in HER neighborhood. She had way more right to be there than they did.

    There's a bit of a mixup, the ICE agent was involved in a scuffle during an arrest earlier. Then he chased after the car and shot the woman driver, that's a separate event. One other agent tried to stop the car by holding their arm inside, that is the dad's reasoning for the sh00t1ng. Because the video is very clear, she did not try to ram anyone nor run them down. It really had the appearance of a gang sh00t1ng

    He had a serious 'incident' before murdering Renee, and if you search, you'll more than likely find other 'incidents' he was involved in, making him the common denominator. He should not be wearing any kind of uniform or badge, he should be in prison for m****r, he's reckless, too emotional, and a coward.

    Everyone is aware of the atrocities that went on in Iraq when it was invaded under false pretences (lies about WMDs), and it sounds like this ICE agent is trigger-happy, and forgot what country he was currently in (or maybe he thought it was okay to do this in MAGA-World). I bet the Govt don't even have these ex-soldiers mentally assessed before hiring them for jobs like this.
