Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and other Trump administration officials have defended Ross as an experienced law enforcement professional who followed his training and shot Good after he believed she was trying to run him or other agents over with her vehicle.
Video has raised questions about whether the shooting was in self-defense, and the FBI is investigating the deadly use of force. Some protesters are demanding that Ross face criminal charges, and Minnesota authorities also want to investigate.
MAGA supporter
Ross’ neighbors told the Daily Mail that Ross is a hardcore MAGA supporter. One neighbor said Ross had been flying pro-Trump flags and a “Don’t Tread On Me” Gadsden Flag, an emblem of the MAGA movement.
Ross’s wife posted a picture posing next to a US Border Patrol helicopter in July 2013 when the couple lived in El Paso, Texas, according to the Daily Mail report.
