The ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good reportedly lied to his neighbors about what he does for work.

Jonathan Ross, 43, revealed at a 2020 neighborhood garage party during the Covid pandemic that he was a botanist, one of Ross’ neighbors told People.

“He said he worked with plants, as a botanist, so he lied about what he did,” the neighbor told the outlet. Ross has worked for ICE since 2015, when he joined the agency as a deportation officer.

On January 7, Ross, an Iraq war veteran, shot and killed the 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis. Good had just dropped off her six-year-old son at school when she encountered ICE agents, according to her ex-husband......

12. you should have warned about the graphic gore in the photo. nt

[riversedge]

18. agee. I forgot. sorry.

[Roy Rolling]

2. Professional Criminal and Liar

It was hard for him to not take his work home with him.

[Vinca]

3. He's a botanist alright. He grows hatred.

[llmart]

4. He's a liar just like his boss.

And don't tell me to say "thank you for your service" to any and all veterans. Our government trains these people to be murderers and when they come out and continue to use their training on innocent people we shouldn't be surprised. We had no business starting wars in Iraq - both times.

[mn9driver]

13. The first time someone said that to me

was in the run up to Iraq war #2. I had been out of the Navy for 12 years by then. I thought it was weird. I still think it’s weird.

[llmart]

20. I think it's weird also.

A person has no idea what kind of service you did or when or if you were on the battlefield humping the boonies or just serving up hash in the local armory. We need to stop the glorification of war.

[Shipwack]

30. I used to feel uncomfortable when someone said that to me.

Then someone told me to accept it gracefully since I was being thanked because all those who really deserved being thanked for their service were no longer with us.

[unblock]

5. But don't call them the secret police. Just because they mask up and lie about what they do.

[3Hotdogs]

6. I guess he is ashamed about his job. He knows his job and his organization are shit.

He didn't want his neighbors to know about it.

[popsdenver]

22. That is

very common in the CIA.........to say you have some other job, or a cover business you run......

[Shipwack]

32. True but there is a difference between...

… being discreet about your career for security versus lying about it because you know it’s unpopular.

Also, botanist? WTF? The guy probably doesn’t know the difference between xylem* and a xylophone.

Just say you work for the government and leave it at that.

*basically the cells in a plant that circulate water and nutrients.

[Dr. T]

7. This is a little off subject for this post, but still I have to ask.

If this Johnathan Ross is so innocent, as the righties would have us believe, then why did he abruptly leave the scene then pack up and move within hours?

Innocent people don't do that.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

9. I'd guess he was following orders.

Someone at Justice told his supervisor to get him the hell out of there before actual police shoe up to ask questions.

[TBF]

17. I'll bet Kristi Noem had him moved -

I'm sure they will take care of their ICE agents and keep them safe from actual law enforcement.

They took all of our ACA subsidy money to fund this gestapo - they have a huge budget.

[relayerbob]

15. It's not his first, and that all know it and don't care

They want that sort of criminal in their ranks.

[calimary]

8. Never forget. And never let HIM forget.

Do it for Renee Good.

[FakeNoose]

10. Long time ago, I had a friend who grew his own marijuana

He used to call himself a "botanist" too. Made me think of it.....

[William Seger]

11. "neighborhood garage party during the Covid pandemic"

So, he was one of the propaganda-addled #rump supporters who helped make our Covid death rate twice that of other developed countries by doing the dumbest things they could think of to show how little they cared.

[riversedge]

19. MAGA helped passed the Covid virus around!!

[relayerbob]

14. I wonder how many others he has killed

He was too calm and methodical about it, very serial killer attitude.

[Aristus]

16. So he went from murdering Iraqis to murdering Americans.

Nice career arc there, asshole...

[Martin68]

21. Letting them hide their faces and remain anonymous makes it much more likely they will kill people.

[dalton99a]

23. +1. Murdering Americans with anonymity and immunity

[IcyPeas]

24. He was easily identified... he wasnt wearing the full headgear luckily...

[tonekat]

25. Very galling since Botanists Promote life

Not destroy it.

[Walleye]

26. They are ashamed of what they are doing. That's why they cover their faces and don't wear name tags.

They justify it because they are getting paid well and they have ICE Barbie to back them up

[dem4decades]

27. Botanist? He would have been easy to spot as a fraud

I doubt he knew anything about plants. He was probably stuck an asshole nobody wanted to talk to him for any length of time

[Blues Heron]

28. You reap what you sow motherfucker, Justice is coming for YOU

[travelingthrulife]

29. Good old conservative christians. They lie as easily as they breath.

[Emile]

31. Lying is a republican trait.
