The city of Minneapolis unveiled a video on Monday capturing a chase and altercation that led to a nonfatal shooting in January. This incident resulted in suspensions for two federal officers engaged in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement in Minnesota.

The footage from a city-owned camera shows the officers pursuing a Venezuelan man to his home. A second Venezuelan male, residing at the same address, was injured during the encounter. Charges against the immigrants were later dismissed due to conflicting evidence.

The case has prompted a federal investigation into whether the immigration officers involved provided false testimony. Meanwhile, state and county prosecutors are demanding access to federal evidence to further probe the events.
