A man shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis was charged with assaulting law enforcement. A startling admission ended the case | CNN

Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna was on shift in Minneapolis on a Wednesday evening last month, making deliveries as a DoorDash driver, when he realized he was being followed by ICE agents, his attorney said.

DHS claimed Sosa-Celis was driving the car and he, Aljorna and another man assaulted the agent before the agent fired his weapon.

The first inkling of the government questioning the DHS account came from the US Department of Justice. In a January 16 court filing supporting criminal charges against the two men, the DOJ asserted Aljorna was the one driving the vehicle.

In a stunning reversal, the Justice Department on Thursday filed a motion seeking to drop criminal charges against the two Venezuelan men. In it, the DOJ said federal prosecutors provided incorrect information to the court, while ICE issued a statement admitting its federal agents made “false statements” under oath.

    I remember folks getting punished severely for lying under oath, while in the service. I guess those standards no longer exist. I suppose I wouldn’t expect a force under a POS authoritarian to be worth a fuck. Undisciplined traitor scum fucks a plenty.

    In a stunning reversal, the Justice Department on Thursday filed a motion seeking to drop criminal charges against the two Venezuelan men. In it, the DOJ said federal prosecutors provided incorrect information to the court, while ICE issued a statement admitting its federal agents made “false statements” under oath.

    The two federal agents involved have been placed on administrative leave while the Justice Department investigates their “untruthful statements,” which were revealed by a review of video evidence, ICE Director Todd Lyons said in a statement.

    The two officers may be fired and potentially face criminal prosecution, Lyons said.

    Actually kind of huge that even this much is happening considering up to now they’d just double down on lies.

    Even if all that happens is they’re fired, every single ICE brown shirt will hear that this happened. Without 100% support they’ll start to hesitate before escalating violence or deadly force.

      You overestimate their capability to come to logical conclusions.

        You underestimate a cowards sense of self preservation over all else…

        Without the threat of the agency throwing them under the bus, their only threat is a citizen shooting them, so they shoot first and have no threats.

        This is a huge change to the math a coward does every second of their life

    People who should have the role because they’re mentally unfit for the job, harass, bully, beat, and kill citizens. Then lie about the reasons why.

    Sounds just like cops.
