Judge Orders Turnover of ICE Officer Jonathan Ross Records for Court Review

The ruling moves disputed records into court review after months of federal control over evidence.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were ordered Thursday to deliver files on ICE officer Jonathan Ross to a magistrate by May 1 for review.
  • The order covers personnel and training files, statements from the hour before and during the shooting, witness accounts, medical records, phone data, and body‑worn camera video.
  • The case arises from Roberto Carlos Muñoz‑Guatemala’s post‑conviction discovery bid after his December 12 conviction for assault on a federal officer tied to a June 17 traffic stop.
  • The magistrate will screen and possibly redact the materials before any defense access, and only what the defense later files in court may become public.
  • The move could shed light on the January 7 shooting of 37‑year‑old Renée Good in Minneapolis and adds pressure in Minnesota’s broader fight over federal control of evidence in agent‑involved shootings.
