Federal Agents Placed on Leave Amid Investigation into Minneapolis Shooting Incident
Two federal immigration agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation into allegations that they provided false testimony related to a shooting incident in Minneapolis in January 2024. The investigation is connected to a case involving two Venezuelan men who were initially charged but later had their charges dismissed. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota is overseeing the investigation. The agents under scrutiny are Todd Lyons and Daniel Rosen. The incident and investigation have raised concerns about the accuracy of statements made by the federal agents during legal proceedings. Individuals named Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis are also involved in the case, though their specific roles are not detailed in the available information.
