Johnson claims he was tracking ICE vehicles, surrounded, pepper-sprayed, and attacked without a bat — contradicting agent affidavits. His legal team argues the government staged the encounter and held him shackled for days. The U.S. Attorney’s office now seeks to investigate his claims, citing new evidence, making Johnson one of six whose cases were dismissed — while prosecutors simultaneously indict 15 others for immigration conspiracy, hinting the current charges are far more serious.
