Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers appear to have lied about an incident and have been placed on leave, the agency’s head said on Feb. 13.

“A joint review by ICE and the Department of Justice (DOJ) of video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told The Epoch Times via email on Friday.
