Billionaire Bill Ackman Makes $10,0
Donation Draws Attention
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman confirmed he was the
largest donor to a GoFundMe supporting ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who was involved in a fatal Minneapolis incident.
The donation intensified national debate over law enforcement, protests, and accountability.
The Incident
Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, died during an ICE operation earlier this month.
Authorities said agents believed they faced an immediate threat.
Officials defended the unit, while public reaction split sharply, sparking demonstrations in several cities.
Ackman’s Explanation
After a $10,000 donation appeared under the name “William Ackman,” he confirmed it was his and said the goal was to support due process, not politics.
He added that he had planned to donate to Good’s family, but their fundraiser had already closed.
Broader Debate
Supporters praised Ackman’s stance on legal fairness, while critics questioned the symbolism.
The case highlights how philanthropy, policing, and public scrutiny collide in national debates.
