Two online fundraising campaigns have raised over half a million dollars in support of Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week.

A GoFundMe fundraiser for Ross started by user Clyde Emmons has garnered over $448,000 as of Monday afternoon. A spokesperson for GoFundMe told Newsweek that the campaign is being reviewed and that the only verified fundraiser related to the shooting on the platform so far is the one that supports Good’s family.

The campaign’s top donation ($10,000) came from billionaire Bill Ackman, the founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital. Ackman wrote on X that his donation stemmed from his belief that people are innocent until proven guilty, and that he attempted to donate to Good’s GoFundMe as well before it was closed.

A separate campaign for Ross on the platform GiveSendGo has also raised $177,000 to help protect the agent’s family and provide funds for “anything else related to this righteous act of duty.” 

A report from The Daily Beast found that the GiveSendGo organizer, Tom Hennessy, had unnecessarily pointed out that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was Jewish while criticizing him in the description for Ross’s fundraiser. On Monday, Hennessy also made a post on X praising Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Germany in the 1930s. 

The shooting occurred last Wednesday when Ross shot Good with his handgun three times. While videos suggest that Good did not intend to harm Ross, members of the Trump administration and conservative commentators were quick to spread false narratives about the incident and label Good a “domestic terrorist.” Protests have also sprung up in Minnesota and around the country amid the administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown.
