Videos Released of ICE Officer-Involved Shootings in Minneapolis and California

Minneapolis released video of January ICE shooting after charges dropped; separate California incident involves agents shooting into car

Synthesized from 14 sources

The city of Minneapolis released security camera footage Monday showing a January shooting involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and two Venezuelan men, after criminal charges against the men were dropped.

The video captured federal officers pursuing one of the Venezuelan men to his residence, where another Venezuelan man who lived there was shot during the confrontation. The incident occurred as part of what officials called Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement operation during the Trump administration in Minnesota.

Two federal officers involved in the Minneapolis shooting have been suspended following the incident. The city-owned security camera footage appears to contradict aspects of ICE's initial account of the events, though specific details of the discrepancies were not immediately available.

Separately, ICE agents were involved in another shooting incident in Northern California, where agents shot into a vehicle, injuring a suspect. A federal official said the agents were pursuing what they described as a "wanted gang member" who allegedly tried to run over one of the agents with the vehicle.

No independent confirmation of the federal official's account of the California incident was immediately available. The timing and specific location of the California shooting were not disclosed in initial reports.

Both incidents highlight ongoing scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement operations and the use of force by ICE agents during arrests and pursuits.
