Assault charge dropped against citizen ICE allegedly shot from behind

Federal prosecutors have dismissed an assault charge against Carlos Jimenez, a U.S. citizen who alleged he was shot from behind by an immigration agent in 2025. The dismissal followed a legal battle over missing evidence, specifically the officer's text messages. Jimenez's attorney, Greg Jackson, announced plans to file a civil lawsuit against the federal government, alleging malicious prosecution and an attempt to conceal the agents' actions during the incident.
