NEED TO KNOW
Ken Jennings is taking to social media to share his opinions on the state of the world following the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis mother by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent this week.
In a series of posts shared to Bluesky on Wednesday, Jan. 7, the 51-year-old Jeopardy! host expressed his thoughts hours after the death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, made headlines.
“It’s been a dark week, but I just saw someone reply to an ‘Abolish ICE’ post with a scoldy Bluesky ‘Uh, try abolish DHS’ and that joy will sustain me for a little while,” Jennings wrote.

Another post read, “The ‘prosecute the former regime at every level’ candidate has my vote in 2028.”
Reps for Jennings did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Elsewhere on his timeline, Jennings let users know he had been “been a-blockin’ and a-mutin’ all afternoon,” and offered advice to people who might be “anxious and sad about the state of the world.”
Good was killed on Wednesday morning, when an ICE agent, later identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune, shot into her vehicle.
On Thursday, Jan. 8, Jennings also reposted a Bluesky message that read, “The murderer’s name is Jonathan Ross.” It contained a link to the Minnesota Star Tribune, which reported that “Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.”
Good was seen in multiple videos reversing her Honda Pilot as ICE agents attempted to open her car door, then moving forward and to the right when the agent opened fire, first through the windshield and then twice through the vehicle’s open window, killing the mother of three from Colorado.
The incident happened after a group of people allegedly started blocking officials during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The area is home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in the United States.
Good’s ex-husband told The Associated Press that she was returning from dropping off her 6-year-old son at school and driving back home with her current partner when the couple came across a group of ICE agents on Wednesday morning.

He added that his ex was not an activist, and said he had no knowledge of her taking part in protests in the past.
City Council member Jason Chavez described Good as a U.S. citizen who was “an observer … watching out for our immigrant neighbors,” ABC News reported.
In a post on X, the Department of Homeland Security accused Good of “weaponiz[ing] her vehicle” in an “act of domestic terrorism.”

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance alleged that Good was “part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to dox, to assault and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.” He also called her death “a tragedy of her own making.”
