Federal authorities announced an investigation on Saturday into two immigration officers who appeared to have made untruthful statements under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month. It is among at least five shootings in which initial descriptions by the immigration officials were later contradicted by video evidence. Those included the fatal Minneapolis shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, where bystander video quickly raised questions about how they were initially described.
The probe Friday came hours after a federal judge dismissed felony assault charges against two Venezuelan men accused of attacking an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer on January 14.
