"Don't say his name! Noem said. I mean, for heaven's sakes we shouldn't have people to continue to dox law enforcement when they have an 8000% increase in death threats against them. His name is public, Brennan replied. I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said, Noem responded. She went on to claim that, people have attacked him and his family, and they are in jeopardy."
"Brennan responded by saying no one condones violence against anyone, and then proceeded to ask about the agent's current condition, and whether he has returned to duty. CBS reported that he did have internal bleeding in the torso, but he was released that same day, Brennan said. So is he back at work? Did you give him the required three days of suspension?"
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reprimanded a CBS reporter for naming ICE agent Jonathan Ross in connection with the Jan. 7 Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good. Noem urged that the agent's name not be repeated, arguing that law enforcement faces a surge in death threats and doxxing that endanger officers and their families. The reporter noted the name is public and asked about the agent's medical condition; CBS reported internal bleeding and same-day release. Questions arose about administrative leave and whether the federal agent is under investigation; Noem declined to discuss medical records and said investigators followed established protocols.
