Two federal officers appear to have lied about an incident last month in Minneapolis that ended with one of them shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons said Friday.
"A joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements," Lyons said in a statement. "Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation ... The U.S. Attorney's Office is actively investigating these false statements."
