DHS identifies man shot by ICE in Minneapolis; background shows only minor prior incidents

DHS says Venezuelan migrant Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis was the man shot in the leg by an ICE officer in Minneapolis after resisting arrest during a targeted traffic stop; two bystanders attacked the officer with a snow shovel and broom, and Sosa-Celis allegedly struck the officer with a shovel/broom when authorities intervened. He previously had minor convictions (driving without a license, giving false names) and entered the U.S. illegally in 2022. Minnesota authorities are investigating, and protests followed the incident as officials described the officer’s defensive shot to protect his life.
