Federal agents swarmed the home of ICE agent Jon Ross on Friday morning. The house was empty as the family is reportedly in hiding.
Items Taken From House
A Special Response Team arrived at the Minneapolis home early in the day. Officers wore masks and balaclavas to hide their identities.
One agent carried an assault rifle during the search of the five-bed home. They carried out five plastic crates and a computer tower.
Also, the team took a stack of picture frames from the house. They formed a defensive line as a black Jeep left the garage.
Ross Goes Into Hiding
Neighbors say they have not seen the 43-year-old agent since Wednesday. His wife, Patrixia, was seen pacing the driveway shortly after the shooting.
The couple and their children have now left the suburban property. Meanwhile, Ross has served as an immigration officer since at least 2013.
Father Defends Son
Ed Ross spoke to the Daily Mail to defend his son’s actions. He said the victim hit his son with her car first.
“She hit him. He will not be charged with anything.”
Finally, the 80-year-old father called Jon a kind person and a great husband. He noted that his son is a committed Christian and veteran.
Divided Political Reaction
The Trump administration has defended Ross since the shooting of Renee Good. However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has called the incident a murder.
