Feds open criminal probe into whether ICE officers lied about shooting of Venezuelan man in MN

Federal prosecutors dropped assault charges against two Venezuelan men after evidence contradicted ICE officers' testimony, prompting a criminal investigation into potential perjury.

  • The federal government has opened a criminal probe into whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers lied about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.
  • U.S. District Court Judge Paul A. Magnuson dismissed the case against Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis with prejudice, meaning the charges cannot be resubmitted.
  • Neither video evidence nor testimony from a neighbor and the men's romantic partners supported the agent's account that he had been attacked with a broom or shovel or that a third person was involved.
