Two ICE Agents on Leave for Lying Under Oath

Todd Lyons, acting head of ICE, has accused two federal agents of lying under oath about the mid-January shooting of Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis, resulting in their administrative leave pending an internal investigation. This follows the Department of Justice dropping charges against Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna due to newly discovered evidence. Conflicting accounts of the incident have emerged, with video evidence allegedly contradicting the officers’ claims. Lyons stated that violations of sworn oaths by ICE officers will not be tolerated, and termination could follow the investigation.
