- The federal government has opened a criminal probe into whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers lied about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.

- Neither video evidence nor testimony from a neighbor and the men's romantic partners supported the agent's account that he had been attacked with a broom or shovel or that a third person was involved.
