A nine-minute city surveillance video released on 6 April 2026 has thrown the government's own account of a January immigration enforcement shooting in north Minneapolis into serious doubt.
The footage, captured by a city-owned camera near North Lyndale Avenue and North 24th Avenue, shows a scuffle between a federal ICE agent and two Venezuelan men lasting less than 12 seconds, a stark contrast to the agent's sworn account that he had been 'fighting and tussling' for roughly three minutes before firing. It also appears to contradict repeated DHS claims that the agent was beaten with a snow shovel and broom handle before he discharged his weapon.
