Minnesota shooting of Venezuelan man is the latest where video evidence contradicts ICE accounts

Federal authorities have announced an investigation into two immigration officers who appeared to have made untruthful statements under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month. It marks the latest in a string of shootings involving federal immigration agents in which evidence ended up contradicting some initial accounts. Those included the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, where bystander video quickly raised questions about how they were initially described. In at least five shootings in recent months, federal officials have provided narratives that justified the use of force — sometimes deadly — by ICE officers tasked with carrying out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
