Donations Flood Agent Who Killed Good: A 'Good' Investment for ICE?
When ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good, mainstream outlets, like The Independent, focused on public outrage and the subsequent counter-fundraising for the agent. Over $350,000 poured in for Ross, reportedly bolstered by conservative hedge fund billionaire support. This isn't just organic sympathy; it's a well-oiled machine, eerily similar to how politicians receiving substantial donations
from groups like AIPAC then vote overwhelmingly for specific foreign policies. It’s part of a broader ecosystem where those who enforce state authority, particularly against marginalized communities, receive significant financial backing from powerful, often conservative, benefactors. One might wonder if this financial 'support' for extra-judicial actions is merely a calculated investment in
maintaining a specific, often violent, approach to immigration policy. How many more 'incidents' will be tacitly encouraged by such generous reward systems? It seems some funds are always readily available to shield agents and solidify a coercive border regime, while the victims often remain voiceless and uncompensated.
