The Roll Up: January 13, 2026 

TL;DR: Much of the nation was in shock last week after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in her car on a Minneapolis street. Social media predictably weighed in on both sides, but with stark difference in content. Here's what we know:

Many came to first hear about the shooting death on social media Wednesday as the initial video spread quickly. A large number of users shared posts related to the killing as evidence of ICE aggression and lack of control. The Trump administration quickly took to social media to paint Good as a radicalized activist out to kill ICE agents with her car.

 

Rolli IQ analysis of the sentiments surrounding posts about both Good and Ross paint a mixed picture of each. Those opposed to ICE actions depict Good as an innocent victim and Ross as a cold-blooded killer, while those who support ICE call Good a dangerous radical and Ross as a hero protecting Americans. 

 

Looking first at sentiment about Good, the large number of negative sentiments are not aimed at Good herself, but rather what happened to her and at Ross. 

Rolli IQ's AI summary of activity on Twitter/X sums up why sentiments were so strongly negative on posts about Good:

  • Twitter/X: The posts overwhelmingly express outrage, grief, and condemnation regarding the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. Many accuse the government and ICE of murder and cover-up, highlighting protests, memorials, and public figures condemning the incident. There is significant criticism of ICE tactics, government officials, and media narratives, with some posts disputing details of the event and others sharing videos and personal information to challenge or support different perspectives. The tone is largely accusatory and sorrowful, reflecting deep mistrust and anger toward ICE and the administration, while also touching on related incidents and broader issues of systemic injustice.    

Sentiments regarding Ross are more clear cut. Rolli IQ sentiment analysis shows overwhelmingly negative feelings about Ross. As would be expected, the bulk of those engagements shared outrage at Ross' actions and ICE in general. 

Once again, Rolli IQ's AI summary of activity on Twitter/X best shows the nature of comments about Ross:

  • Twitter/X: The posts overwhelmingly condemn ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. The sentiment is strongly negative, with calls for his arrest and prosecution, criticism of his actions and character, and widespread outrage expressed by protesters and public figures. There is also discussion of protests, legal actions, and controversies surrounding fundraising efforts for Ross. The incident has sparked significant public anger, demands for justice for Renee Good, and scrutiny of ICE practices.

With such strong feelings overwhelming the sentiment analysis of each individual, more detail comes out when using the Rolli IQ Topic Tree to examine the specifics of what people are posting and commenting. Posts about Good fell into five general categories:

  1. details of the shooting itself,

  2. reactions to the shooting,

  3. narratives about Good's character,

  4. media reports,

  5. misinformation about the shooting and ICE and government accountability.

The most active topics among those was the dissection of the events of the incident and particularly the videos of what transpired. Many posted and commented on how the video showed Ross was in no danger and fired unnecessarily, with some claiming the video proves Ross had to shoot to protect himself.

Representative of those claiming the videos show Ross killed Good in cold blood was this post, citing police procedures designed to give them the right to shoot even when not in danger.

Those supporting Ross and his actions increasingly turned to evidence beyond the video of the actual shooting, using video footage in which they claim Good was "dancing" moments before the shooting occured.

The partisan divide on the shooting wasn't lost on those posting about Good. Many used her death to point out the Trump Administration's backing of ICE and what they consider its violent methods, while others brought Jeffrey Epstein and Palestine into the conversation.

Central among that partisanship were back-and-forth interactions regarding comparisons between Good's shooting and the shooting of Charlie Kirk. This exchange was typical of those.

Rolli IQ Topic Tree analysis of posts about Jonathan Ross shows social media posts about him also fell into five main categories:

  1. details of the shooting itself,

  2. discussions of the video and other evidence,

  3. his background and character,

  4. public reaction about him,

  5. how his actions fit into the broader political and social context.

While discussions of the events of the day and the video evidence followed many of the same lines as those posting about Good, the examination of Ross' background and character dived much more deeply into him as a person. Some hailed Ross as a combat veteran still serving his country.

Others used his military service as reasoning why the shooting was even more reprehensible, saying Ross was trained in proper rules of engagement and failed to follow normal policies with Good.

Just as much of the public sentiment about Good depicted her as an innocent victim--despite the Trump Administration painting her otherwise--sentiment against Ross was very lopsided and negative, with many calls for his arrest and prosecution and even calls to hound him for the rest of his life. 

The bottom line is that the analysis using Rolli IQ to look at online posts about the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good shows heated responses mainly in support of Good and against ICE agent Jonathan Ross, with very strong language regarding what should happen to Ross as a result of his actions.
