"The video released on Monday depicted a confrontation lasting about 12 seconds, contradicting the ICE officer's claim of a three-minute tussle with both men."
"Federal investigators had access to the video within hours of the 14 January shooting but did not watch it until nearly three weeks after charging the two men."
"The video makes it crystal clear that, just like in other situations during Operation Metro Surge, the federal government's account of what happened simply does not match the facts."
Minneapolis released a security video that challenges the ICE's narrative of a January shooting involving federal officers and two Venezuelan men. The footage shows a brief confrontation, contradicting the officer's claim of a prolonged struggle. Following the video's release, federal authorities dropped all charges against the immigrants and initiated a criminal investigation into the officers' conduct. The mayor expressed frustration over the federal government's failure to share information regarding the incident, highlighting a pattern of discrepancies in accounts during Operation Metro Surge.
