It turns out the LICE agents in Minnesota who were involved in the shooting of an undocumented immigrant LIED about the incident.
The LICE agents claimed they were attacked with a broom and a shovel by two other citizens, but those claims were proven to be untrue, with a Federal judge dropping all charges against the two citizens who were identified by the LYING ICE agents:

Todd Lyons, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, accused two federal agents of lying under oath regarding the mid-January shooting of a Venezuelan national in Minneapolis.
The two officers have been placed on administrative leave and an internal investigation is underway, Lyons said in his statement.
"Video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements. Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation. Lying under oath is a serious federal offense," Lyons said. "The men and women of ICE are entrusted with upholding the rule of law. ... Violations of this sacred sworn oath will not be tolerated."
Side note:
Today, PBS Newshour highlighted the cases of three American citizens whose right were violated by LICE agents. And in those cases, LICE also LIED about the circumstances (and then there are the obvious LIES from LICE related to the Renee Good & Alex Pretti shootings.)
We. Told. Them. So.
