Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis have moved to drop felony assault charges against two Venezuelan men, including one shot in the leg by a immigration officer, after new evidence emerged undercutting the government’s version of events.
In a filing Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota said “newly discovered evidence” in the criminal case against Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis “is materially inconsistent with the allegations against them” made in a criminal complaint and a court hearing last month.
The government’s motion asked the judge for “dismissal with prejudice,” meaning the charges against the two men cannot be resubmitted.
in short, the ICE stormstroopers lied about what happened. As they have in every other use-of-force case.

Isn't lying criminal offense at both state and federal level?
They can shoot but lying should not be "protected" if only because
it will embarrass their imperious leaders.
Eck!
Yes, but it's so hard to get competent help to do clean, deniable, no-evidence thuggery. Krugman:"Let me call this Arendt’s Law: Totalitarian and wannabe totalitarian regimes only hire incompetent hacks."
What she said:
Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

Look up "Marimar Martinez" for a whole bunch of lies by ICE...and more than one agent too. It's being tried in court right now
I would think that there is a case for Attempted Murder by the ICE agents involved.
It's what you get when the recruit pool is police officers about to be fired by their review boards...
Plus some Jan 6 insurrectionists and their supporters who can't even pass the written test to be a grocery store cart fetcher.
