2月13日（路透社）——美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）代理局长托德·莱昂斯周五表示，两名联邦官员似乎在本月早些时候明尼阿波利斯一名委内瑞拉移民被枪击事件的起因陈述上撒了谎。
莱昂斯在一份声明中称，ICE和司法部对视频片段的审查”显示，两名不同官员提供的宣誓证词似乎存在不实陈述”。

莱昂斯表示，两名官员已被停职，美国检察官办公室正在调查这些虚假陈述。
“调查结束后，这些官员可能面临解雇，以及潜在的刑事起诉，”莱昂斯说。
这一声明发布的前一天，司法部撤销了对腿部中枪的委内瑞拉移民胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯（Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis）和另一名被控袭击联邦官员的男子的指控。
明尼苏达州最高联邦检察官丹尼尔·罗森请求法官驳回指控，称”此事中发现的新证据与指控内容存在重大不一致”。罗森以有偏见为由请求驳回，这意味着这些指控不能被重新提起。

ICE和联邦探员在明尼阿波利斯的移民执法行动中遭到强烈反对，期间已有两名美国公民死亡。本周早些时候，总统唐纳德·特朗普的边境负责人汤姆·霍曼表示，这次行动将逐步结束。

Feb 13 (Reuters) – Two federal officers appear to have lied about the events that led up to the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis last month, acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons said Friday.
In a statement, Lyons said a review of video footage by ICE and the Department of Justice “has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements.”

Both officers have been placed on administrative leave and the U.S. Attorney’s office is investigating the false statements, Lyons said.
“Upon conclusion of the investigation, the officers may face termination of employment, as well as potential criminal prosecution,” Lyons said.
The announcement comes a day after the Justice Department moved to drop charges against the Venezuelan immigrant, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was shot in the leg, and another man accused of assaulting a federal officer.
The top federal prosecutor in Minnesota, Daniel Rosen, asked a judge to dismiss the charges, writing “newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations.” Rosen sought the dismissal with prejudice, which means the charges cannot be reintroduced.

ICE and federal agents have faced strong push back against their immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis during which two U.S. citizens have been killed. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said the surge would be winding down.
