CHANHASSEN, MN – A Minnesota massage therapist has been terminated from her position following a series of controversial social media posts that exposed the private home address of a federal agent. The incident, which has ignited a fierce debate over digital ethics and federal protection laws, follows the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen during a law enforcement operation earlier this month.
The Doxxing Incident
Sara Larson, formerly employed at EastWest Acupuncture & Wellness in Chanhassen, reportedly posted now-deleted TikTok videos targeting ICE Agent Jonathan Ross. In the videos, Larson identified Ross’s private residence in Chaska and encouraged her followers to “circle the area” to make the agent feel “uncomfortable.”
The targeted agent, Jonathan Ross, was involved in the January 7 fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good. The incident occurred in Minneapolis during an attempted arrest when Good reportedly drove her vehicle toward agents.
Employer Response and Termination
EastWest Acupuncture & Wellness moved swiftly to distance itself from Larson’s actions. In an official statement, the clinic confirmed Larson’s termination, stating they do not condone doxxing or the harassment of individuals.
“Our organization stands for healing and community wellness. We find the practice of doxxing—releasing private information with the intent to harm or harass—entirely inconsistent with our professional values,” the clinic noted in a public brief.
Legal Implications and Public Reaction
As news of the TikTok videos spread, social media platforms were flooded with speculation regarding Larson’s legal standing. Some unconfirmed reports suggested she could face federal prison time under statutes that protect the private information of federal officers.
Under current U.S. law, the “Requirement to Protect Personal Information of Federal Employees” can lead to criminal charges if the release of such data is found to incite violence or impede official duties. However, at this time, no formal federal charges have been filed against Larson.
Context of the Shooting
The doxxing incident is a direct fallout from the heated public discourse surrounding the death of Renee Nicole Good. While federal authorities maintain that the use of force was a necessary response to a life-threatening situation involving a vehicle, local activists and family members have questioned the escalation of the arrest.
Editorial Note
At Lake County Florida News, we remain committed to reporting that balances public accountability with the safety of all citizens. While the debate over law enforcement transparency continues, the shift toward digital harassment presents new challenges for legal systems and employers alike.
