The claim posted on Bluesky reflects reporting by CBS News, which cited unnamed U.S. officials stating that the ICE agent involved in the Minneapolis shooting suffered internal bleeding after the incident. CBS A major national news organization with established editorial standards; reporters cited have relevant beats covering homeland security and the White House. Multiple major news outlets independently reported the same claim, attributing it to federal authorities. The CBS article was written by Nicole Sganga, a homeland security and justice correspondent, and Jennifer Jacobs, a senior White House reporter, both of whom regularly cover federal agencies and national security issues. While no primary sources such as medical records or an official ICE medical statement are publicly available, the information comes from statements made by U.S. officials to journalists. USA Today also reported that DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the agent “suffered the injury when he was struck by her vehicle,” confirming that the claim originated from federal authorities. USA today is a reliable source that is a widely circulated national newspaper that attributes the claim directly to a named DHS official, increasing transparency. Based on consistent reporting across credible outlets, the claim appears to be true, though it relies on official statements rather than publicly released medical documentation.

Although the Trump administration (the Department of Homeland Security) stated Ross had "internal bleeding" to the torso due to being hit by Good's SUV on January 7, 2026, the extent of that is highly disputed. Journalists and insiders within CBS said that after the incident Ross was seen walking normally and was discharged from the hospital that evening. Detractors suggest the phrase was applied to a small contusion to rationalize the lethal shooting.

That claim has some basis in reporting, but it’s incomplete and needs context. Multiple credible news outlets reported that U.S. officials told reporters the ICE agent who shot Renee Good, identified as Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to his torso after the incident. However, details about how severe that injury was, how it happened, or whether it was directly caused by Good’s vehicle have not been independently confirmed or fully documented. (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-officer-who-shot-renee-good-internal-injuries-sources-say)

The Department of Homeland Security acknowledged the officer was treated at a hospital and released the same day, but did not provide detailed information about the bleeding or its cause. Video footage from the scene shows Ross walking away from the incident without obvious immediate difficulty, and some analysts have questioned whether he was actually struck hard enough to sustain serious internal trauma.

In other words, the reported internal bleeding comes from anonymous officials cited in news reports, and the extent, cause, and medical significance of that injury are unclear. That makes the claim not fully supported by confirmed, independently verified evidence at this time. If the goal is accuracy, it’s important to note that while the report of injury exists, the specifics remain unverified and open to question.
