ICE officer who fatally shot Minnesota woman was dragged by car during June immigration arrest

The ICE officer who fatally shot a Minnesota woman Wednesday was previously dragged by a car during an immigration enforcement operation in June, DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.

During the June incident, ICE officers in Minneapolis attempted to arrest Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala during a traffic stop. He was in the country illegally, DHS said in a news release, and was previously “arrested for domestic assault and convicted of sex crimes against an underage teenager.” When the man refused to comply, the agent broke his car window and reached inside, getting his arm stuck, according to court documents. When the man attempted to drive away, he dragged the agent, which was captured on video. The agent suffered multiple lacerations and needed 33 stitches to close his wounds, according to court documents from the June incident, which identified the agent as Jonathan Ross. NBC News reached out to DHS requesting comment from Ross.

Snip--

The criminal complaint in the June dragging case said Ross was involved in the effort to arrest the Mexican immigrant, Muñoz-Guatemala. Agents pulled Muñoz-Guatemala over and demanded he put his car in “park,” according to the documents. When he refused, officers ordered him to lower his window all the way and open the door. Muñoz-Guatemala continued to refuse their orders, prompting Ross to break the driver’s side rear window of the man’s car. Ross then reached into the car through the broken window and attempted to unlock the driver’s side door, the documents state.

According to court documents, while Ross’s arm was inside the man’s car, Muñoz-Guatemala put the car in drive and attempted to drive away, dragging Ross along with the vehicle. Ross shot his taser at Muñoz-Guatemala while he was driving away, but Muñoz-Guatemala continued to drive, trying to “shake” Ross from the car, court documents state. Court documents say Ross was dragged approximately 100 yards before he was able to free his arm from the car. DHS said in a news release he was dragged about 50 yards.

Ross was injured and taken to the hospital for care, according to court documents. He sustained a cut on his right arm that required 20 stitches, a cut on his left hand that required 13 stitches, and abrasions to his left knee, elbows and face.

Or his supervisors fucked up by letting him back on the streets. Whichever way they want to play it is fine by me. But them highlighting this as if it's some excuse that we should all understand simply does not cut it.

Rene Good had no way of knowing that she was dealing with some trigger happy asshole overstimulated and stupid. Johnathon Ross can get up and go about his business tomorrow. Rene Good's son will get up and ask where his mother is.
