ICE agent who shot Renee Good gets $10K donation from Bill Ackman

Billionaire Bill Ackman is one of more than 8,000 people who have donated to an unverified online fundraiser to support the federal immigration agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week.

As of the morning of Jan. 12, a GoFundMe campaign created by Clyde Emmons had raised $374,553 including a $10,000 donation from the hedge fund billionaire. Another $5,000 anonymous donation also topped the list. Created Jan. 9, the fundraiser aims to aid the potential legal defense of Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement removal officer based in Minnesota.

The fundraiser had not yet been verified as of Jan. 12 according to GoFundMe.

"Our Trust & Safety team is currently reviewing all fundraisers related to the shooting in Minneapolis to ensure they are compliant with our Terms of Service," GoFundMe told USA TODAY on Jan. 12. "We are also working to gather additional information from the organizer of this fundraiser."

Ackman’s donation was reported on Sunday morning by investigative journalist Jacqueline Sweet, who has also pointed out that the man who started the campaign, Clyde Emmons, posted on Facebook to say he did so because “the stupid c*nts wanna make a go fund me for that stupod (sic) bitch that got what she deserved I made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money.”

For years, Bill and others paraded around as moderates or even Dems and enjoyed donating to things as long as they got to spend time with other rich people. Now we know who they truly are.

Noem, Trump, and Vance all say he was justified, acting in his official capacity. If DHS thinks he's innocent, they could use some of the billions in ICE funding to pay for his defense.
