An ICE agent has been arrested in Minneapolis on charges of assault and false reporting of a crime, following an initial incident in January.

Why it matters

This arrest highlights ongoing issues with ICE operations and the potential for misconduct, especially in high-profile cases like Operation Metro Surge.
