ICE officers suspended after making ‘untruthful statements’ about shooting
The federal immigration officers are facing a criminal inquiry after new evidence surfaced contradicting their accounts after the Jan. 14 shooting of a Venezuelan man.
Two immigration officers have been suspended and are facing a criminal investigation into whether they lied under oath about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis last month.
The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that a recent review of video evidence revealed that the officers “appear to have made untruthful statements” in sworn testimony given as part of a case charging two men — including the shooting victim, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis — with attacking immigration agents.
A federal judge dismissed the charges against Sosa-Celis and his co-defendant Thursday after the U.S. attorney in Minneapolis said that “newly discovered evidence” was “materially inconsistent with the allegations” the officers had made…
… Since last summer, officers from ICE, Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations have been involved in at least 16 such shootings, including three that were fatal. None of the officers has faced criminal charges.
By contrast, federal authorities have pursued felony counts in 10 cases against people who were fired at by the officers, accusing them of being the aggressors.
In half of those cases, including the one involving Aljorna and Sosa-Celis, prosecutors have either dropped charges or a judge has dismissed them after evidence emerged contradicting the government’s narrative of events.
