Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe campaign supporting ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during an immigration raid in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. Good, a 37-year-old mother of three and legal observer at the protest, was killed after allegedly attempting to drive away from officers. Authorities claim she “weaponized” her car, while witnesses and local leaders dispute that account, calling the shooting unnecessary. The incident has sparked nationwide protests, political backlash, and intense debate over ICE tactics. Ackman defended his donation by stating his belief in “innocent until proven guilty,” adding that he also intended to donate to Good’s family, but their GoFundMe had already closed after surpassing $1.5 million in contributions.
Good’s wife, Becca, later released an emotional statement thanking supporters worldwide and honoring Renee’s legacy of compassion and kindness. She described her late wife as “pure sunshine,” devoted to love, faith, and protecting others. Renee leaves behind three children, including a six-year-old who has already lost his father. While government officials such as Vice President JD Vance and Homeland Security leaders have defended the ICE agent’s actions, Minneapolis’ mayor and many citizens have condemned the shooting. As investigations continue, the tragedy has deepened national divisions over immigration enforcement, policing, and accountability — while also uniting thousands in support of a grieving family.
