‘Oh come on’: Adam Kinzinger reacts to ICE’s excuse for shooting Renee Good like the rest of us

Adam Kinzinger occasionally says what we’re all thinking. And this time, he’s not holding back about ICE’s excuse for the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Reacting to CBS’s report that ICE agent Jonathan Ross suffered internal bleeding after fatally shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis, Kinzinger didn’t hold back: “Oh, come on. He shouldn’t have passed a medical screening then for ICE. They have a medical screening, right?”

The incident that’s sparked nationwide protests and reignited debates about ICE’s role in America happened on January 7, 2026. Renee Good, a 37-year-old poet, mother, and U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. What began as a traffic stop turned into a senseless death, and the details of how it unfolded are as infuriating as they are tragic.

Renee was stopped in her SUV, parked sideways on a city street. Jonathan Ross, an experienced ICE agent with over a decade of service, drove past her vehicle, circled back on foot, and joined his team of agents as they approached. They ordered Renee to exit the vehicle and reportedly tried to open her car door. What happened next is the subject of conflicting narratives.

According to ICE and federal officials, Renee attempted to drive forward, “running over” Ross in the process, which they claim left him with internal bleeding. In their version of events, Ross fired three shots in self-defense. But eyewitness accounts and video footage — both of which have become central to public outrage — paint a very different picture. The footage reportedly shows Renee turning her car away from Ross, not toward him, when the shots were fired. She wasn’t charging at him. She wasn’t putting him in immediate danger. And yet, Ross decided to pull the trigger. Three bullets later, Renee Good was dead, leaving behind her wife, Becca, and three children.

After the shooting, ICE scrambled to justify Ross’s actions. CBS reported that Ross had suffered internal bleeding during the incident, a claim backed by unnamed federal officials. But the specifics of his injury remain vague. Kinzinger’s reaction to the excuse was a direct challenge to ICE’s credibility. ICE’s defenders, including some federal officials and Trump himself, are sticking to the narrative that Ross acted in self-defense. But that argument is falling apart under scrutiny. Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, demanding justice for Renee and accountability for ICE, while six federal prosecutors have resigned in protest over how the investigation is being handled.
