Patrixia Ross, 38, brings a distinguished family background to her life in America. She is a naturalised United States citizen originally from the Philippines, and reports indicate she was raised in an environment of high professional achievement, as both of her parents were respected doctors in her home country.
That upbringing in the medical field suggests a life of relative privilege and education before she moved to the United States and married the federal agent. Neighbours in their Minnesota community described her as a dedicated mother who was deeply involved in raising their children.
She appears to enjoy cooking, having previously shared photos of baking recipes from a Spanish-language cookbook on social media. In July 2013, she also posted a snap of herself next to a US Border Patrol helicopter, when the couple was living around El Paso, Texas, according to the Daily Mail.
Neighbours told the outlet that Patrixia is ‘polite, very nice, [and] very outgoing’, a stark contrast to her ‘very reserved’ husband. The couple reportedly shares ‘a couple of kids’, and despite the intense scrutiny currently facing her husband, Patrixia has no personal history of legal trouble or public controversy prior to the shooting.
Her status as a naturalised citizen, however, adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, given that her husband’s career was dedicated to enforcing immigration laws.
Not really sure why I need to know anything about her. She’s not in trouble. She didn’t commit any crimes I’m aware of. It’s her fascist husband that needs to be strung up not her. This just feels weird.
There was a very specific not knowing about her other than she was a naturalized citizen. The other recent story about her fascist murderer husband stated that not even her name was known.
Well, she gets to hide from the press and Renee Good is murdered. If it happens that her immigration paperwork is incomplete, well. Wouldn’t that be something. Her murderous ICE husband’s whole remit is to brutalize and terrify people exactly like her. She’s in it, and he’s the cause of all of it. It can’t be a surprise to her.
When they were praying together that Jesus Christ deliver the election to trump, or when she took that smiling picture in front of the Border Patrol helicopter she was living the faux-Christian right-wing fantasy of us versus them and she was the us. Now she’s in the shit that all of that lead to.
I’m not hoping she gets any more shit; she’s already got enough including, dog help her, two little boys. She’s living a tragedy and she chose a lot of it. I hope she can get out of it.
