For more than a week, the Department of Homeland Security alleged that during a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis, one Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was violently assaulted with a shovel and a broom handle by three undocumented immigrants who attempted to evade arrest and obstruct law enforcement.
Although the incident took place Jan. 14, it was not until this week that the FBI released its account of the car chase and alleged assault that led an ICE agent to shoot a Venezuelan immigrant. According to a sworn affidavit reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune, FBI Special Agent Timothy Schanz laid out details that contradicted DHS' description of the incident.
