As a result, Ellison’s office initiated a parallel investigation and condemned the release of footage from the agent’s cell phone to a right-wing news outlet, Alpha News, as unprofessional. Ellison emphasized the importance of gathering all available evidence and the need for further investigation before determining whether to charge the ICE agent, Jonathan Ross.

The agency’s behavior, exemplified by the detention of a young man, a legal resident about to graduate, for six months before his release, illustrates a disturbing pattern.… Continue reading
