The New York Times published newly obtained footage that contradicts ICE's account of a nonfatal Minneapolis shooting. The video shows a roughly 12-second struggle involving two men and the agent, and it does not show a prolonged assault with a shovel or broom. Prosecutors in Minnesota US Attorney Dan Rosen's office did not view the footage until weeks after charging the wounded man. The footage undermines the agent's credibility, raises questions about ICE oversight, and could affect prosecutions and public trust.
