The agent, identified in news reports as 10-year ICE veteran Jonathan Ross, was reportedly doxxed by Sara Larson, who was employed at East-West Acupuncture.
She dropped a video on social media that went viral, encouraging people who were upset with his actions to “surround” his home and harass him and his family.
“Jonathan Ross lives in my town, Chaska, Minnesota,” she said in the clip. “There are two police squad cars sitting in front of his home.” She added that she saw the police vehicles while she was running an errand.
“I came back because I wanted to ask if they were protecting him or if they’re protecting the general public,” she said. “And police officers basically said we’re here to protect the community.
“It is what it is. I don’t really believe them,” she said. “They’re protecting him, he’s hiding out in his house. And I’d love for everyone who doesn’t like him to circle around in this neighborhood.”
She then pretends not to give out his address while actually doing so, adding: “Go circle around, make him uncomfortable everybody.”
Not long after her post, some internet sleuths did some digging and outed her, which then led to an apparent disciplinary action from her employer.
“We want to clarify the current situation. The individual involved with the recent viral video is no longer employed with EastWest Acupuncture,” a pop-up statement on the company’s website said, per the Western Journal.
“Their actions were their own and did not represent our standards, values, or expectations as a business. We also want to acknowledge what has followed. Some members of our team and their families have experienced threats, harassment, and false or misleading reviews. This has been very difficult for those affected, and we kindly ask for understanding and compassion as we work through this,” it added.
Larson appeared to also have taken down her video.
In an interview with Fox Radio’s Will Cain this week, border czar Tom Homan said that Ross and his family had gone into hiding because of threats.
“When do I start seeing ICE agents, Border Patrol agents, sue for defamation? Mostly, I have been curious about and, really, honestly, in some ways, imploring the Border Patrol agents who were accused of whipping Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden and former President Kamala Harris…to sue them for defamation, it fits the classical, legal definition of defamation,” Cain said.
“And now to your point, you have all of these…celebrities and sports figures, like head coaches in the NBA, Doc Rivers and Steve Kerr, calling this agent in Minnesota a murderer. And I do wonder what’s holding back these agents for demanding accountability in the form of a lawsuit for defamation,” Cain added.
“I think things are so bad now, Will, you’re going to see that start happening,” Homan replied. “I’ve talked with two people, and I think you’re going to see it happening. And for this agent who was a part of this shooting, I think he’s going to wait for this investigation to paint itself out and wait for them to come out with actual facts of what happened that I think you may see him take action.”
“Because I know for a fact that now he has to be in hiding. I seen a post this morning on my way to the studio here, with his picture, ‘Wanted for murder.’ It’s beyond the pale,” Homan added.
