After a U.S. Immigrations<\/span> and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week, rival GoFundMe campaigns emerged. One raised $1.5 million for the family of the slain mother of three. Another has pulled in nearly half a million dollars for Jonathan Ross \u2014 the ICE agent who killed her.<\/p>\n

Among the donors to the Ross GoFundMe was billionaire<\/a> hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who shared a post about the fundraiser<\/a> on Saturday and donated $10,000.<\/p>\n

A Facebook page for Clyde Emmons was using an extremist meme as a profile picture. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

The fundraising campaign for Ross was created by an account using the name of Clyde Emmons, of Michigan. Other online accounts, linked to the GoFundMe and bearing the same name, posted white supremacist imagery and called Good \u201ca stupod bitch who got what she deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time the GoFundMe page popped up, a Facebook page for Emmons was using an extremist meme as a profile picture. According to the Anti-Defamation League, the image used by the Emmons account depicts a Nazi salute and is a hate symbol. The \u201cpaper beats rock\u201d symbol shows a Hitler salute hand over the Black Power fist and is considered an allusion to white supremacy, the ADL says in its explanation of the image.<\/a><\/p>\n

GoFundMe is investigating the campaign, the company told The Intercept in a statement. (Neither Emmons nor Ackman responded to requests for comment.)<\/p>\n

The campaign for Ross has raised over $400K \u2014 with Ackman\u2019s donation being the largest to date. On Saturday, Ackman shared a right-wing influencer\u2019s post about the fundraiser for Ross, and around the same time, a $10,000 donation from \u201cWilliam Ackman\u201d appeared on the page.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a Sunday post <\/a>on X, Ackman confirmed that he made the donation, saying he wanted to also donate to the fundraiser for Good but it was closed by the time he went to give.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole situation is a tragedy,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAn officer doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer but whose actions in a split second led to her death.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Friday post<\/a> to a Facebook page identified as belonging to Emmons gave a very different explanation for starting the GoFundMe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved,\u201d said the since-edited post, which linked to the Ross campaign. \u201ci made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Ackman donated to the campaign for Ross, the description included a reference to Ross\u2019s legal fees.<\/p>\n

The description<\/a>, which was later removed, said: \u201cAfter seeing all the media bs about a domestic terrorist getting go fund me. I feel that the officer that was 1000 percent justified in the shooting deserves to have a go fund me. Funds will go to help pay for any legal services this officer needs. I am currently in contact with his father and awaiting the officers response so I can send him the link to hand this over to him personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

GoFundMe\u2019s terms<\/a> generally prohibit fundraising for the legal defense of violent crimes, and \u201cany activity in support of terrorism, extremism, hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorist financing, extremist financing, or money laundering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other images on<\/span> Emmons\u2019s Facebook depict apparent images about race, like one from the movie \u201cBlazing Saddles<\/a>\u201d showing a joke about the Ku Klux Klan. \u201cWhen everyone wasn\u2019t offended by every little fucking thing,\u201d the Emmons account wrote as a caption.<\/p>\n

After Emmons\u2019s fundraiser began going viral on social media, he changed his profile picture from the hate symbol to an image from the TV show \u201cThe Simpsons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GoFundMe was still live and accepting donations on Monday. GoFundMe is investigating the organizer and if the campaign falls under their rules, a spokesperson for the company told The Intercept in an email Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Trust & Safety team is currently reviewing all fundraisers related to the shooting in Minneapolis to ensure they are compliant with our Terms of Service,\u201d the company said. \u201cWe are also working to gather additional information from the organizer of this fundraiser. During the review process, all funds remain safely held by our payment processors. GoFundMe\u2019s Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent crime. Any campaigns that violate this policy will be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n
