FBI Agent’s Testimony Challenges ICE Agent’s Claims Under Oath in Court Case
An FBI agent’s testimony disputes claims made by ICE’s Jonathan Ross in a court case about a detainment incident.
Minneapolis: In court, FBI agent Bernardo Medellin contradicted ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Ross claimed a detained man wanted a lawyer. Medellin, who heard their talks, said he never heard the man request an attorney.
Ross was involved in a case where a man named Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala was chased. Ross testified he told Muñoz-Guatemala he was law enforcement. Ross also said Muñoz-Guatemala attacked him with a car.
During questioning, Ross mentioned that Muñoz-Guatemala replied in English, saying he wanted a lawyer. But this detail surprised others in court, as it was not mentioned before.
Medellin confirmed he had not heard any request for a lawyer from Muñoz-Guatemala. The discussion raised questions about the trustworthiness of Ross’s statements in court.
