ICE officer charged with lying to investigators in the shooting of Venezuelan man, sources say

Federal prosecutors have charged a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with lying to investigators regarding the events surrounding the January shooting of a Venezuelan man. The charges stem from an incident that occurred during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis earlier this year, according to reporting based on Associated Press sources.

The case involves allegations of false statements made to authorities during the investigation into the use of force against the Venezuelan national. The filing of charges against the federal officer marks a significant development in the scrutiny of law enforcement actions tied to the Minneapolis operation.
