Two immigration officers are currently suspended and facing a serious criminal investigation because video evidence reportedly proves they lied under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month. That’s huge news from the Washington Post, considering how rarely federal officers, especially ICE officers, face disciplinary action after making an enforcement arrest.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Friday that a review of recent video footage revealed the officers “appear to have made untruthful statements” that were inconsistent with their allegations in their sworn testimony. The new evidence prompted a federal judge to dismiss the charges against the Venezuelan man who was shot, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and his co-defendant on Thursday.
