A Venezuelan man shot by an ICE agent in January never attacked the agent as the Department of Homeland Security claimed, according to an explosive new court filing from the Department of Justice.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem originally claimed that Julio Sosa-Celis was shot during a Jan. 14 incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after he and another defendant, Alfredo Aljorna, “ambushed and attacked” the unnamed agent with snow shovels and broom handles.
“What we saw last night in Minnesota was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement,” Noem, dubbed “ICE Barbie” for her fondness of dressing up like an ICE agent, said in a Jan. 15 statement. “Fearing for his life, the officer filed a defensive shot.”
