A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is arrested in Minneapolis after authorities accuse him of shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man through an apartment door. The incident occurred in January, and the agent faces state assault charges related to the alleged assault.
According to reporting from multiple outlets, the agent is also accused of lying to investigators about what happened. Times of India says video footage contradicts his account, including claims that he was attacked with household items. The Independent similarly describes the arrest as being tied to assault charges connected to the shooting and alleged false statements.
Times of India adds that the arrest follows approximately eight months after the January incident and notes the agent was recently released on bond from federal custody earlier in the month. The cases referenced by the outlets focus on the shooting allegation, the timing of the arrest, and the dispute over the agent’s statements to investigators.
