The new video released by the city of
Minneapolis showing the moments leading up to an ICE involved shooting on
January 14th, the night when an ICE agent claimed he was brutally assaulted by three men for three minutes.
But the video from a street camera appears to show that's not what happened.
You can see an ICE agent coming to frame and engage in a brief struggle with what appears to be two men, not three.
It's over in roughly 12 seconds, not three minutes.
The agent also claimed that he was beaten by a shovel.
But if you stop and slow the video down, the video appears to show one of the suspects tossing the shovel before the officer reached the home and wrestled with the men.
The video is grainy without audio and it's hard to make out what happened during the struggle.
But moments later the officer taking a firing stance.
Court documents showing one of the men was shot in the leg.
Shortly after Kristy Noem made this statement.
What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.
The Minneapolis Police Department told ABC News that the FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension both received the video the same night of the shooting.
So this morning the question is why? Why did authorities move forward with the case for weeks charging the two men with assault?
unravels. Top ICE officials say the agents made untruthful statements and federal prosecutors moved to have the case dismissed with prejudice.
The agent who made the claims now in question was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
At the time the case was dropped Homeland Security officials issued a statement acknowledging questions about the agent's account noting that lying under oath is a serious offense.
This morning they had nothing new to say. Guys. All right. We'll see if any action is taken there.
>> And as Pierre said, why? That was the big question.
