ICE officer slips on ICE during protest, viral video sparks online jokes and questions
A video of an ICE officer slipping on ice has gone viral, and people online are making jokes about it. Many people joked that ICE officers “can’t handle the ice” after watching the clip. ICE officers have been sent to different parts of the US in recent months, but their actions in Minneapolis, Minnesota, are getting the most attention right now,, as reported by Unilad.

The situation became serious after an incident in Minneapolis earlier this month. On January 7, an ICE officer shot and killed a 37-year-old mother while she was sitting in her car. The woman has been publicly named as Renee Nicole Good. Some people claim Good tried to run over an officer with her car. Others strongly say she was only trying to drive away and not hurt anyone.

The ICE agent who fired the fatal shot has been identified as Jonathan Ross. Jonathan Ross is 43 years old and lives in Minneapolis. He is believed to have been working with ICE since 2015. Ross previously served in Iraq during 2004 and 2005. He is also part of the local SWAT team. Ross is connected to the FBI’s anti-terrorism task force as well.


Vice President JD Vance said Ross has “absolute immunity” from any criminal charges. Because of these events, public anger is not only focused on Ross but on ICE officers in general, as stated by Unilad. ICE officers currently working in Minneapolis are facing extra criticism from the public. During an anti-ICE protest, a person recorded a video on their phone.

ICE officer’s viral video reactions

One Reddit user reacted by saying: "The pure JOY of the bystanders is excellent. They needed that laugh!" Another user joked: "Ice assaulting ice," making fun of the fall. A third comment said: "He couldn’t have possibly looked like more of an idiot. This is perfect. It’s just too bad we can’t see his face." Some people called the fall a “classic blunder,” saying it is risky to run in Minnesota during winter, as mentioned by Unilad.

Many viewers also questioned why the officer was running at all. One user asked: "Who was this guy even chasing after? Was he trying to tackle someone and then decided it wasn't worth it out of embarrassment?" Another person wrote: "What exactly was he attempting? To intimidate and terrorize." A different user commented: "Whatever made him run wasn’t that important, I guess."
