Bill Ackman Linked to $10K Donation for ICE Agent Who Shot Renee Good, Sparking National Outcry
A billionaire investor’s support for a controversial fundraiser is fueling national debate over a deadly ICE shooting. Bill Ackman is publicly linked to a $10,000 donation on a GoFundMe backing an ICE agent involved in the Renee Nicole Good shooting, according to multiple news reports, a choice that is drawing sharp reactions as the facts of the case continue to emerge.
The stakes are high as Good’s death has sparked protests in Minneapolis and across the country, with activists calling for accountability and federal transparency. opposing voices argue for law-enforcement support even as legal review continues.
Ackman’s name appears as the top donor on the Ross fundraiser, which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the ICE agent identified as Jonathan Ross. Federal officials say Ross fired what they described as “defensive shots” during an ICE operation in Minneapolis, fatally striking Good. Ackman confirmed the donation and said on social media that he intended to donate similarly to Good’s family’s campaign, but that it had already closed after raising more than $1.5 million.

Complicating the story, GoFundMe is reviewing the Ross fundraiser for compliance with its terms, and no criminal charges have been filed in the shooting as the investigation continues.
“I am big believer in our legal principal that one is innocent until proven guilty,” Ackman wrote in his social post.
The episode highlights the deep divisions over immigration enforcement, legal standards, and public support for law enforcement versus victims’ families — dividing leaders and communities.
