On Jan. 14, the city-owned camera at the intersection of North Lyndale Avenue and North 24th Avenue in Minneapolis recorded a car driven by a man fleeing ICE agents collide with a snowbank. The man, identified in court documents as Alfredo Aljorna, ran towards his home on the block, where his friend, Julio Sosa-Celis, was standing outside with a snow shovel.
Although the video is dark, it shows Sosa-Celis drop the shovel as Aljorna approached. When Aljorna slipped, an ICE agent jumped on him. Sosa-Celis is briefly visible trying to wrestle Aljorna out of the agent’s grasp, before both men turn and try to run inside. That’s when the video appears to show the ICE agent fire in their direction. Sosa-Celis received a minor gunshot wound on his thigh, according to court documents.
The non-fatal shooting came just a week after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in south Minneapolis. Soon after news of the shooting spread, protesters and angry residents began to gather in north Minneapolis. Federal agents deployed massive amounts of teargas in the residential neighborhood and some federal vehicles they abandoned were vandalized.
Then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the incident as “an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.” Both Sosa-Celis and Aljorna were charged with assaulting a federal agent. But the federal government’s case began to unravel soon after.
