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

Federal authorities launched a criminal investigation after evidence contradicted ICE officers' sworn statements in a Minneapolis shooting, leading to dismissal of charges against two Venezuelan men.

  • 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.
