Which court records and photo exhibits from the June 2025 Bloomington incident are publicly available and what do they show about Ross’s injuries?
Executive summary
Public reporting shows federal court filings from the June 17, 2025 Bloomington arrest — including an affidavit, an exhibit and witness list, and hospital photo exhibits — have been made publicly available or described in news reports, and those records identify the officer involved as Jonathan Ross and include hospital images of his arm and hand injuries [1] [2] [3]. The available materials and reporting consistently show Ross sustained cuts to his arm and hand when his arm became stuck in a vehicle window as the driver fled, but news outlets cite different stitch totals and describe both action‑shot images and clinical photos from the hospital [4] [5] [2].
1. Which court filings are public and where they appear
News organizations report that the Bloomington matter produced multiple federal court filings that are publicly accessible or summarized in published stories: an affidavit describing the traffic‑stop altercation, a separate exhibit and witness list that names the ICE officer, and “hospital photo exhibits” submitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and shared with news outlets [1] [2] [3]. Those filings were cited by outlets including CNN, the Star Tribune and CBC, which note that although the criminal indictment against the driver did not name the agent, other filings and exhibit lists did identify him as the injured officer [1] [2] [6]. Reporters say the files were obtained from federal court records or provided to media via court‑filed exhibits [2] [3].
2. The photo exhibits reporters describe: two visual types
Coverage describes two distinct kinds of images tied to the case: action images showing an agent reaching into the car window during the arrest attempt, and clinical/hospital photos showing the agent’s wounds and treatment after he was dragged [3] [2]. The action photos appear in an affidavit or operation report and depict the interaction at the vehicle window as the driver attempted to flee; hospital photo exhibits are court‑filed images from the emergency care setting documenting lacerations and bandaging to the arm and hand [3] [2]. Multiple outlets explicitly state that hospital photos were attached to court filings and circulated among reporters as exhibits [2] [7].
3. What the images and filings say about the injuries
Reporting consistently says Ross’s arm and hand were cut when his arm was caught in the vehicle window and he was dragged about 100 yards; subsequent medical treatment and the hospital photos showed lacerations to the arm and hand that required stitches [4] [8]. The stitch totals reported vary by outlet: Reuters cites a combined total of 33 stitches to arm and hand [4], while Fortune reports that cuts to his arm required 50 stitches [5]. Those numerical differences reflect discrepancies in media summaries of the court exhibits rather than a single, universally reported figure, and none of the provided sources links directly to a public image file in this dataset for independent verification [4] [5].
4. How Ross’s identity and role are established in the records — and the limits of public reporting
Although the June indictment of the driver did not name the ICE agent, multiple court documents and exhibit lists published or described by news organizations identify the injured officer as Jonathan Ross and list him as a witness; the Department of Homeland Security later confirmed officials were referring to the Bloomington incident when discussing the agent’s prior injuries [2] [1] [9]. At the same time, federal officials initially declined to release the shooter’s name publicly and news outlets relied on court filings, exhibit lists and agency confirmations to connect Ross to the hospital photos [1] [10]. The present reporting makes clear what the filings describe and what the hospital photos depict, but the underlying court images and exact medical records are not reproduced verbatim in the sources provided here, so independent visual or documentary confirmation from the court docket itself is not available within this set of sources [3] [2].
Conclusion
Federal court filings from the June 2025 Bloomington arrest — an affidavit, exhibit/witness lists and hospital photo exhibits — are reported to be publicly available and, as described by multiple news outlets, show Jonathan Ross suffered lacerations to his arm and hand after becoming stuck in a car window and being dragged; those wounds required stitches, though sources differ on the exact stitch count (33 vs. 50) and the primary images or medical records are not embedded in the reporting provided here for direct verification [1] [2] [4] [5].
