It happened on January 14th in Minneapolis. DHS initially said an officer fired a shot to save his life. The agency said he was being ambushed and attacked by three immigrants with a snow shovel and a broom handle during a targeted traffic stop. Julio Cesar Sosa Celis, the subject of the traffic stop, was shot in the leg. But now DHS spokesperson Trisha McLaughlin says the federal agency involved have been placed on administrative leave. This after a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice found they appear to have lied in their sworn testimonies of the incident. McLaughlin says the officers could be fired or prosecuted for any violations. Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News.
