Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are on administrative leave after investigators said evidence does not match their stories after one shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.
The suspended agents' names have not been released, and they might be fired and charged with crimes for allegedly lying about the circumstances leading up to the shooting on the night of Jan. 14 after investigators with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota finish their review of the incident.
"A joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements," McLaughlin said in an email to Fox News Digital.
"Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation," she said, while referring to the agents' statements as "false."
