Three Venezuelan Suspects Involved in Minneapolis Attack on Federal Officer, ICE Says
TL;DR
ICE details a Minneapolis incident where three Venezuelan nationals attacked a federal officer with a snow shovel and broom handle during a traffic stop; Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis fled, was involved in the struggle, and was later struck by a defensive shot as the others assisted in the assault. All three suspects were arrested and remain in ICE custody, with the officer and Sosa-Celis hospitalized. The agency links the case to a claimed surge in assaults on federal agents and criticizes local leaders for not cooperating with immigration enforcement.
