ICE Agent Arrested on Assault Charges Over Shooting of Venezuelan Man in Minneapolis

An ICE agent in Minneapolis has been arrested on state assault charges in connection with a shooting that wounded a Venezuelan man in January. Authorities allege the agent made false statements to investigators about the circumstances of the incident. Video evidence reportedly contradicted his claims that he had been attacked with household items before opening fire. The arrest came shortly after the agent was released on bond following a separate stint in federal custody earlier this month. The case has drawn attention after roughly eight months passed between the original incident and his arrest.
