Indiana National Guard and Iraq veteran - 2002-2007
Border Patrol 2007 to 2015
ICE 2015 to 2016

He was nearly killed in June sticking his hand in a driver window and getting dragged. You'd think someone with that much experience and with that event just 6 months ago, he'd be better at de-escalating. Certainly he should know better than to shove his arm into a car that's running or jump in front of an SUV.

He's just simply a bad cop.... perfect for what DJT wants on his private goon squad. I met an ex ICE agent today that said there has been a mass exodus starting when Trump got re-elected. Decent agents that stuck it out his first term weren't willing to do it again.

Jonathon Ross is the poster child for today's ICE. He is what MAGA considers a hero.
