Billionaire Bill Ackman defends controversial $10K donation to ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good
New York Post ^ | Jan. 13, 2026 | Caitlin McCormack

Billionaire Bill Ackman doubled down on his decision to leave a $10,000 donation on a GoFundMe campaign supporting the federal immigration agent who shot and killed anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good — but admitted he didn’t “do any due diligence on the case” before seeking out the fundraiser.

Ackman, 59, openly admitted to leaving the top donation on a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fired three fatal “defensive shots” at Good last Wednesday.

In a post on X, Ackman lamented that he had been “widely reviled (and worse) by many on social and mainstream media” since confessing to the act of charity.

He’s a billionaire - he doesn’t have to explain anything to anyone.

His best move would have been to ignore the social media criticsm but he let himself fall into their trap.

Being a billionaire means never having to say you’re sorry.

I don't know, but it wasn't very smart of him. When you donate via GoFundMe, the organization takes perhaps 10 percent off the donation as their fee. Rather than do that, write a check directly to the recipient in their name, so they can receive the full 100 percent of the money.

I have done that when others seek donations via GoFundMe, I send checks directly to the recipient, especially when the amounts are in the thousands. Others send via GoFundMe to get their names on a roster of donators, so what, a feel-good moment for the donors but not helping the recipient.

DC and Disney should do a crossover movie.

Dark Trump as Batman and Huge Ackman as Wolverine taking down rings of illegal aliens working for various democrat super villains.

It has to be a bigger hit than anything Disney recently put out and it is time for another Batman movie so what are they waiting for?
