Federal authorities have announced an investigation into two immigration officers who appeared to have made untruthful statements under oath about a shooting in Minneapolis last month. This marks the latest in a series of at least five shootings where initial descriptions by immigration officials were later contradicted by video evidence, including the fatal Minneapolis shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Why it matters

These incidents raise concerns about transparency and accountability in law enforcement, particularly around the use of force by immigration authorities. The discrepancies between official accounts and video evidence undermine public trust and highlight the importance of independent oversight and thorough investigations.

The details

The investigation focuses on two immigration officers involved in a shooting incident in Minneapolis last month. Authorities say the officers' sworn statements about the incident appear to be contradicted by video evidence, though specific details about the shooting have not been released. This is part of a broader pattern, as at least five other shootings by immigration officials have also seen initial descriptions differ from bystander footage.

• The latest incident occurred in Minneapolis last month.
• Federal authorities announced the investigation on February 14, 2026.

What’s next

Federal investigators will review the officers' statements and the video evidence to determine if any disciplinary action or criminal charges are warranted.
