ICE Agent Charged With Lying About Shooting Venezuelan Migrant in Minnesota

A Venezuelan migrant was shot in the leg by the ICE agent; the bullet passed through a child's room wall, creating potential danger to civilians.

Surveillance footage quietly undid an official narrative of self-defense, setting in motion a federal indictment that few such cases ever reach. The bullet that passed through a man's leg and into a child's bedroom wall has become a symbol of something larger — the distance between what institutions say and what the record shows.
