Gun-toting feds in ski masks swarm the ICE agent shooter's home to retrieve belongings as the house sits empty amid claims he has gone into hiding

The Daily Mail witnessed armed federal agents swarming the empty home of ICE shooter Jonathan Ross to retrieve his belongings, with some agents confronting reporters on the scene.
Gun-toting Feds swarmed the home of the ICE agent who fatally shot protester Renee Good on Friday morning, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
A Special Response Team arrived at the suburban Minneapolis home, where Jon Ross, 43, lives with his wife and children, early this morning.
Daily Mail images captured half a dozen Federal officers wearing masks and balaclavas, one carrying pepper spray and another wielding an assault rifle.
They entered the smart five-bed home before carrying out five large plastic crates, a computer tower and a stack of picture frames.
The agents climbed back into their unmarked trucks afterwards to form a defensive formation around a personal vehicle that drove out of the garage.
The driver of the black Jeep SUV wore a full-face mask, making it impossible to identify him.
'How much money are you making' growled one agent as he approached the Daily Mail reporting staff.
Another climbed out and took a close-up cell phone video of our photojournalist before the convoy drove away.
ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who fatally shot Renee Good on Wednesday, and his wife, Patrixia
Wearing balaclavas and half-face masks to shield their identities, agents descended on the quiet street to collect Ross's belongings from his empty home, including a computer tower and personal items packed into large plastic storage bins
The Ross family appears to have left their home in the Minneapolis suburbs. Neighbors say they haven't been seen since Wednesday, the day Ross shot Good dead
A neighbor told the Daily Mail she spotted Ross's wife Patrixia pacing around the couple's driveway on Wednesday afternoon, hours after her husband opened fire on Good.
Since then, the house has been empty amid suggestions that the couple and their children have gone into hiding.
The fresh activity comes after the Daily Mail revealed that Ross is an Enforcement and Removal Operations agent and Iraq veteran, married to a Filipina immigrant.
He has become the focus of rage over ICE actions around the country after he shot and killed Good on Wednesday afternoon while she was driving her SUV down a street where agents were on duty.
Ross's shaken father defended his son's decision to shoot Good dead in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.
'She hit him,' said Ed Ross, 80. 'He also had an officer whose arm was in the car. He will not be charged with anything.
'You would never find a nicer, kinder person,' the father added of his son. 'He's a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn't be more proud of him.'
The elderly father from North Pekin, Illinois, said Patrixia is a US citizen but declined to say how long she had been in America. 'I do not want to go any further than that,' he added.
More agents from the fleet retrieved storage bins from the house - the Daily Mail counted five

A neighbor told the Daily Mail she saw Ross’s wife, Patrixia, pacing in the couple’s driveway on Wednesday afternoon, hours after her husband opened fire on Good
Ross has lived on the outskirts of Minneapolis since 2015 and served as an immigration officer since at least 2013.
Neighbors told the Daily Mail that Ross was a hardcore MAGA supporter.
Social media posts revealed he has foreign-born in-laws.
Ross married Patrixia, whose doctor parents come from the Philippines, in August 2012, according to posts on her Instagram page.
She posted her first picture with Ross on her social media account two months earlier.
In July 2013, when the couple lived around El Paso, Texas, Patrixia posted a picture posing next to a US Border Patrol helicopter.
She also posted pictures of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook.
Another neighbor told the Daily Mail that until recently Ross had been flying pro-Trump flags and a 'Don't Tread On Me' Gadsden Flag that is an emblem of the Make America Great Again movement.
There's now no sign of Ross, his wife, or the flags.

'The wife is polite, very nice, very outgoing, while he's very reserved. They have a couple of kids,' the local said.
Other family members appear to have had conflict with Ross over their political views – even arguing with him about far-right group the Proud Boys, after Donald Trump caused controversy by initially failing to condemn the group in a 2020 debate with Joe Biden.
His sister Nicole posted a photo on Facebook in October 2020 of herself and a female friend wearing face masks with the caption 'I denounce and condemn white supremacy'.
Ross appears to have commented on the photo, then later deleted the messages, with Dolson and her friend Allison's responses the only comments remaining.
'Jon R Oss the Proud Boys heard his denouncement loud and clear! I watched the entire debate and heard every word. I respectfully disagree,' wrote Allison.
'Jon R Oss we have to respectfully disagree,' Nicole added. 'You are my brother and I love you, but we will not engage in a debate on Facebook.'
Ross appears to have grown up hardscrabble.
His father, a former insurance agent, filed for bankruptcy in Tampa, Florida, in 1996, when Ross was 13.
In a Facebook post, Ross and his sister Nicole engaged in a debate about the Proud Boys in 2020, following controversy over Donald Trump’s initial refusal to condemn the group during a debate with Joe Biden
Ross's father posted a picture on his Facebook page in 2017 of his son in military gear, carrying a large rifle, with the caption saying, 'Jon Ross in Iraq'
The Ross family appears to be religious, with his father serving as director of two church-related organizations.

Ross bought his home near Minneapolis in 2015 for $460,000 with a $360,000 loan from the Veterans Administration, property records show.
Though he is only now being unmasked, Ross's first and last name initially emerged after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed the officer who killed Good was also 'dragged' by a car driven by a suspect he was apprehending last year.
The information was repeated by Vice President JD Vance in a statement on Thursday.
The specific details pointed to the June arrest of an undocumented immigrant and convicted sex offender, Roberto Carlos Muñoz. Court documents from his federal prosecution named the injured ICE officer as 'Jonathan Ross'.
Another federal civil lawsuit from 2021 referred to Ross as a deportation officer in Hennepin County, Minnesota, as far back as 2017.
The Trump administration has come to Ross's defense over his shooting of Good, while Democratic officials in Minneapolis say it was a murder.
Ross was named as the ICE agent who fatally shot Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday
Bullet holes in Good's car windscreen and bloodied seats were clearly visible from the scene

Mayor Jacob Frey did not mince his words at the press conference on Wednesday afternoon. He took to the podium and told ICE agents to 'get the f**k out' of his city, after an agent was seen on video shooting a woman dead as she drove off in her car
ICE claimed she deliberately drove her burgundy SUV at agents, but witnesses dispute the claims, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey calling it 'bulls**t'.
Witnesses claimed Good and her wife, Rebecca, were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot.
But ICE insisted she tried to use the SUV as a deadly weapon.
Footage of the shooting showed the victim blocking the road with her car until ICE agents told her to move away.
She reversed to head back down the road as an agent tried to open the driver's side door handle before she drove off. Three shots then rang out.
Good lost control of the SUV and slammed it into parked cars and a light pole at high speed, prompting screams of shock from horrified onlookers.
Her SUV was seen with a bullet hole through the driver's side windshield.
Good and Rebecca are understood to have fled the US after Trump's victory in 2024, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.
They have a six-year-old child together.
State and local officials demanded ICE leave Minnesota after Good's death. But Noem has said agents are not going anywhere.
