ICE under fire: Video leads to dropped charges and an investigation

Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and another Venezuelan man had been charged with assaulting ICE officers, but video footage and testimony raised questions about the government's version of events, prompting a judge to dismiss the case "with prejudice".
Two ICE officers have been placed on administrative leave and are under federal investigation for potentially making false statements under oath, a criminal offense, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota.
The decision to drop charges and open a probe marks a rare public rebuke of federal immigration law enforcement, adding to broader scrutiny over ICE's use of force and transparency, says CK Smith, Weekend Editor at Salon.
