As U.S. press sleeps, UK Daily Mail reports on federal agents' peculiar raid at the home of ICE shooter Jonathan Ross, who fatally wounded Renee Good

A team of armed federal agents entered the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE shooter in last week's killing of Renee Nicole Good, and removed several belongings, according to a report at UK Daily Mail. The British daily newspaper, which features a U.S. edition, appears to be the first and only major news outlet to shine light on the raid, if you want to call it that.

That's odd, considering the article involves a story of international scope and raises a number of obvious questions -- such as what were federal agents doing at Ross's home, who ordered them to be there, and what items were they taking? Adding to the intrigue, the Daily Mail (DM) notes claims that Ross has gone into hiding. If so, why -- and where?

In addition to the Daily Mail report, the Good killing received significant attention in other United Kingdom outlets (BBC, The Times of London, The Telegraph), plus newspapers in Canada, Singapore, and Italy. That federal agents saw fit to invade Ross' home and take out numerous items -- amid reports that Ross himself has gone into hiding -- presents a significant new angle to the story. But we have been unable to find any coverage in the mainstream U.S. press -- at least of the print variety.

The Daily Mail is not noted for its reliability, but we think the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old unarmed mother of three by an immigration officer, under circumstances of confusion and disputed evidence, is so significant that it merits attention -- even if the Daily Mail, so far, seems to be our only source of printed information in the U.S. Below is a look at the DM's report, written by U.S. Senior Reporter Ben Ashford. Let's start with the headline: "

Gun-toting feds in ski masks swarm the ICE agent shooter's home to retrieve belongings as the house sits empty amid claims he has gone into hiding


Gun-toting Feds swarmed the home of the ICE agent who fatally shot protester Renee Good last Wednesday (1/7/26), the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.

A Special Response Team arrived at the suburban Minneapolis home, where Jon Ross, 43, lives with his wife and children, early this morning.

Daily Mail images captured half a dozen Federal officers wearing masks and balaclavas, one carrying pepper spray and another wielding an assault rifle.

They entered the smart five-bedroom home before carrying out five large plastic crates, a computer tower, and a stack of picture frames.

The agents climbed back into their unmarked trucks afterwards to form a defensive formation around a personal vehicle that drove out of the garage.

The driver of the black Jeep SUV wore a full-face mask, making it impossible to identify him.

'How much money are you making' growled one agent as he approached the Daily Mail reporting staff.

Another climbed out and took a close-up cell phone video of our photojournalist before the convoy drove away.

A neighbor told the Daily Mail she spotted Ross's wife Patrixia pacing around the couple's driveway on Wednesday afternoon, hours after her husband opened fire on Good. 

Since then, the house has been empty amid suggestions that the couple and their children have gone into hiding.

The fresh activity comes after the Daily Mail revealed that Ross is an Enforcement and Removal Operations agent and Iraq veteran, married to a Filipina immigrant.

He has become the focus of rage over ICE actions around the country after he shot and killed Good on Wednesday afternoon while she was driving her SUV down a street where agents were on duty.

The Daily Mail might not be exalted in the journalism world, but its reporters dug up details about Ross and his family that currently are hard to find in the mainstream U.S. press. Ashford writes:

Ross's shaken father defended his son's decision to shoot Good dead in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.

'She hit him,' said Ed Ross, 80. 'He also had an officer whose arm was in the car. He will not be charged with anything.

'You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added of his son. 'He's a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.'

The elderly father from North Pekin, Illinois, said Patrixia is a US citizen but declined to say how long she had been in America. 'I do not want to go any further than that,' he added.

Ross has lived on the outskirts of Minneapolis since 2015 and served as an immigration officer since at least 2013.

Neighbors told the Daily Mail that Ross was a hardcore MAGA supporter.

Social media posts revealed he has foreign-born in-laws.

Ross married Patrixia, whose doctor parents come from the Philippines, in August 2012, according to posts on her Instagram page.

She posted her first picture with Ross on her social-media account two months earlier.

In July 2013, when the couple lived around El Paso, Texas, Patrixia posted a picture posing next to a US Border Patrol helicopter.

She also posted pictures of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook.

Another neighbor told the Daily Mail that until recently Ross had been flying pro-Trump flags and a 'Don't Tread On Me' Gadsden Flag that is an emblem of the Make America Great Again movement.

There's now no sign of Ross, his wife, or the flags.
