Video undermines ICE account of Minneapolis shooting, NYT reports

newsApr 6, 2026104,921

The New York Times obtained video that contradicts the ICE agent's account of a nonfatal Minneapolis shooting. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen's Office did not watch the footage until weeks after charging the wounded man. The clip shows a roughly 12 second struggle involving two men and no shovel attack, contradicting the agent's claim of a three assailant, prolonged assault. This undermines ICE's account and raises questions about prosecutorial decisions, agency transparency, and oversight.
