The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was hit by Renee Good's car in Minneapolis reportedly suffered internal bleeding after being hit by her vehicle.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross reportedly suffered internal bleeding and was taken to the hospital after the incident with Good on January 7, according to CBS, citing U.S. officials.
Recently released footage from the officer's perspective shows agents ordering Good to exit her vehicle before she turns her wheels toward Ross and accelerates, striking him.
'She is a victim of left-wing ideology.'
Good, who had reportedly been following the ICE agents all day in Minneapolis, was fatally shot and died at the scene. Following the incident, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters that the officer had been hospitalized after being "hit by the vehicle."
"The officer was hit by the vehicle," Noem told reporters. "She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released, but he is going to spend some time with his family."

Vice President JD Vance criticized leftist politicians like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who point the finger at law enforcement for "causing chaos" without accepting responsibility for emboldening activists like Good to put herself in harm's way.
"There's part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman," Vance said during a briefing Thursday. "Not just because she lost her life but because I think she is a victim of left-wing ideology."

"What young mother shows up and decides they're going to throw their car in front of ICE officers who are enforcing legitimate law? You’ve gotta be a little brainwashed," Vance added. "... To get to that point, you have to be, I think, radicalized in a very, very sad way."

'Temporary means temporary': 1,000+ Somalis face deportation after DHS nixes TPS amid massive fraud scandal
The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday terminated Temporary Protected Status for Somalis amid ongoing investigations into pervasive welfare fraud within their community in Minnesota.
Somalis currently in the country on TPS and without other legal status could be subject to deportation efforts after March 17. The DHS encouraged those individuals to use Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home mobile app to report their departure from the U.S., adding that it includes a free plane ticket and a $1,000 exit bonus.
'We are putting Americans first.'
Somalia was initially designated for TPS in 1991, and the status was later extended and redesignated numerous times over the decades, for reasons of “extraordinary and temporary conditions,” such as ongoing armed conflict.
An unpublished notice in the Federal Register explained that TPS was initially provided to Somali nationals after an authoritarian regime that controlled the country from the 1960s through the early 1990s collapsed. Years passed without a new central government emerging to take its place.
However, in 2013, the U.S. began formally recognizing Somalia’s new government, and in 2016, the U.S. sent an ambassador to Somalia to re-establish a diplomatic presence.
The DHS stated that Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, the president of Somalia, told the United Nations General Assembly in September that the country had made significant progress, noting that it was confronting “the last remaining pockets of international terrorism while building a strong and sustainable national security architecture.”
The department argued that Mohamud’s characterization underscored “that the country is no longer experiencing an ongoing armed conflict.”
“Thus, while conditions at the time of previous designations reflected an ongoing armed conflict, Somalia today shows improved national governance and security structures and now experiences localized pockets of violence rather than nationwide, generalized conflict,” the notice read.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem concluded that the country’s current conditions do not prevent Somalian nationals from safely returning home. She also argued that allowing Somalis on TPS to remain in the U.S. would be contrary to America’s national interests and present significant security risks.

“Due to this lengthy gap in U.S. diplomatic engagement, the United States cannot adequately vet Somali nationals, particularly aliens who were approved for TPS during this period of 1991-2013, for identity, criminal history, or potential terrorist affiliations, posing an ongoing threat to public safety and national security of the United States,” the federal register notice read.
There are roughly 1,082 approved Somalian TPS beneficiaries, the DHS reported. The department estimated that, as of early December, there were another 1,383 pending applications.
“Temporary means temporary. Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” Noem said. “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”

Obama judge disrupts Trump administration's plans again: Talwani pauses efforts to end mass parole for 10,000+ migrants
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the Massachusetts-based Obama judge who blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood last month, issued a temporary restraining order on Saturday preventing the Department of Homeland Security from revoking the legal status of tens of thousands of foreigners.
The Trump administration announced last month that it was terminating all categorical family reunification parole programs and corresponding work authorization for aliens from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras as well as for their immediate family members, effective Dec. 15.
Per the announcement, the "temporary parole period of aliens who have been paroled into the United States under the FRP programs, and whose initial period of parole has not already expired by January 14, 2026 will terminate on that date."
'We aren't in the clear.'
There are two circumstances under which foreign nationals' parole status would not immediately be revoked: if they have pending applications to register permanent residence or adjust status, or if DHS Secretary Kristi Noem determines otherwise on a case-by-case basis.
The DHS indicated that those set to be stripped of status — well over 10,000 noncitizens — who stay in the U.S. beyond their parole termination date with no lawful basis to remain would likely be removed.
According to the notice in the Federal Register, the FRP programs failed to achieve the goals set by past administrations and are at odds with President Donald Trump's current priorities and foreign policy objectives.

Not only did the programs fail to sufficiently discourage or reduce unlawful migration, the programs "increased administrative strain across multiple [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] directorates and [Customs and Border Protection] ports of entry," said the notice.
"The desire to reunite families does not overcome the government's responsibility to prevent fraud and abuse and to uphold national security and public safety," the DHS said in a release.
"The FRP programs had security gaps caused by insufficient vetting that malicious and fraudulent actors could exploit to enter the United States, which posed an unacceptable level of risk to the United States," continued the release. "DHS is prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."
The Trump administration touted the move as a "necessary return to common-sense policies" and a matter of "prioritizing the safety, security, and financial and economic well-being of Americans."
On Dec. 29, plaintiffs in the class-action case Svitlana Doe v. Noem — represented by the liberal migrant advocacy groups Justice Action Center and Human Rights First — requested a restraining order and a preliminary injunction, claiming the DHS "fell well short of satisfying their most basic obligations under the [Administrative Procedures Act], due process, the parole statute, and its own regulations."
The plaintiffs' primary contention in the emergency motion appears to have been that the DHS allegedly failed to properly notify the so-called "future green card holders" of the programs' termination.
The government argued in response that the court lacked jurisdiction over claims challenging parole termination; that the termination of parole wasn't arbitrary and capricious as alleged; that Noem was within her statutory authority to make the change; and that the notice given complied with the law.
Indira Talwani, the daughter of immigrants from India and Germany, gave the migrant activists exactly what they wanted — a 14-day stay of the administration's termination of FRP grants of parole — and certified a new subclass of migrants, namely those FRP beneficiaries whose parole was terminated.
While the government previously indicated that individual notice would be provided to each parolee through their USCIS online accounts, Talwani expressed doubt about whether the parolees were ultimately provided with written notice of the termination and claimed that the publication of the announcement in the Federal Register "does not satisfy this requirement."
"The court finds that Plaintiffs have a substantial likelihood of success on their argument that the Defendants failed to provide proper notice of DHS's decision to revoke grants of parole under the FRP program in contravention of DHS’s own regulation, the Administrative Procedure Act ... and the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution," wrote the Obama judge.
Karen Tumlin, director of Justice Action Center, celebrated Talwani's ruling, stating, "We join families across the country in breathing a huge sigh of relief. While we aren't in the clear, this immediate pause on de-legalizing individuals who came here with Family Reunification Parole means that people will not be forced to separate from their loved ones next week."
Tumlin added that it's "cruel and completely unnecessary for the Trump administration to try to yank the rug out from under them."
The White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.
Despite drawing out the process, Talwani has acknowledged that the Trump administration can end the program.
The Supreme Court lifted her previous injunction in Svitlana Doe v. Noem on May 30, clearing the DHS to proceed with terminating humanitarian parole.

Stu Burguiere slams Minneapolis meltdown after ICE shooting: ‘What did you think would happen?’
The political fallout from a fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has quickly spiraled into open warfare between city leaders, state officials, and federal authorities — and Mayor Jacob Frey (D), who most recently was seen butchering the Somalian language in support of those accused of fraud — had some choice words for ICE officers.
“I do have a message for our community, for our city, and I have a message for ICE. To ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, and you are doing exactly the opposite,” Frey said.
“We’ve dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis. Not only is this a concern that we’ve had internally; we’ve been talking about it. They are not here to cause safety in this city,” he continued.
“What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly: that is bulls**t. This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying,” he added.
“Kristi Noem heard Jacob Frey being a douche and decided to respond to him for whatever reason, even though he obviously didn’t deserve a response,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments.
“He doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Noem responded in a press conference. “It’s very clear that this individual was harassing and impeding law enforcement operations. Our officer followed his training, did exactly what he’s been taught to do in that situation, and took actions to defend himself.”
However, Tim Walz disagreed, threatening to deploy the National Guard and firmly stating that "Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.”
“Your own party has been turning Minnesota into a nonstop heap of political debate and nonsense for years and years and years and years, going back to George Floyd. This is kind of what the state is now.”
Minneapolis is even closing its public schools for an entire week in the wake of the shooting.
“Look, nothing great here,” Stu says. “There’s no wonderful solution. There’s no wonderful outcome. We can’t be like, ‘Oh gosh, you know, everything was heroic and perfect.’ What we can say is something pretty obvious, like no one wants this to happen.”
“I’m really sad that a person died. I didn’t want her to die. I’m really sad about it. But one little piece of advice that you can take into your own personal lives as you go out into the world: Don’t drive your car at cops,” he continues.
“Like that’s the end of it, right? What would you think would happen to you if you went out to a parking lot as a police officer’s there, standing there, and you just drove your car at them? What the hell do you do think would happen? Every single person in the world, I think, would expect a police officer to fire on them,” he adds.
