Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”

None of it was true.

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheehan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

He has also deported dozens of dissidents back to Iran, where they were likely executed.

The U.S. has been a net exporter of total petroleum (crude oil plus products like gasoline and diesel) since 2020. In 2025, the U.S. exported 35% more oil and petroleum products than it imported.
