Two federal agents have been placed on leave after appearing to make “untruthful” statements about a violent encounter in Minneapolis.
According to reports, the incident involved an immigration agent and an individual who was being detained by ICE. The agent’s account of the event has raised concerns among officials.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stated that it appears agents may have lied about the shooting. This development comes after initial reports suggested a different version of events.
In response to these allegations, the government has announced plans to dismiss charges against two men who were involved in the incident. The decision was made citing “newly discovered evidence”.
The details surrounding the incident and the subsequent investigation are still emerging.
