DHS: Agents Lied About Shooting; Shutdown Looms

DHS: ICE Agents Allegedly Lied About Minnesota Shooting; Government Shutdown Looms

WASHINGTON, D.C. - February 13, 2026 - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Friday that two federal immigration agents involved in a shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last month appear to have lied about the incident. Simultaneously, the agency is facing a looming government shutdown due to an impasse over immigration enforcement reforms.

According to a DHS spokesperson, a joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice, based on video evidence, revealed that sworn testimony provided by the officers contained "untruthful statements." The agents have been placed on administrative leave. The shooting involved a Venezuelan immigrant, though further details about the incident were not immediately available.

The potential dishonesty of the ICE agents comes as the government faces a shutdown. The Department of Homeland Security is scheduled to shut down at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, with no clear path to reopening, according to Time. The White House and congressional Democrats remain at odds over demands for new guardrails on agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This is the third funding lapse of the current Congress and the second in less than six months, a sign of the political division.

The standoff centers on Democrats' demands for new guardrails on ICE and CBP agents, particularly following the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in January.

In other news, President Donald Trump recently lost another battle in his war on democracy, according to Vox. Additionally, Vox reported that the Trump administration might do one good thing for science.
