According to the report, Aldrete, who was given immunity and has filed a multimillion-dollar claim against the federal government, told investigators he was unarmed and was shot as he ran from Compean and other agents. He said he tried to surrender and ran again after Compean slipped while trying to hit him with the butt of a shotgun.
The report also notes that other agents on the scene that day could not confirm whether Aldrete was armed and initially lied about whether they were aware of the shooting. They later cooperated with authorities. Those agents, whose names were removed from the report, were not prosecuted.

P.U...this whitewash is really stinking up the joint. And what federal agency initiated this report? AP doesn't even say!

The same one that just admitted to lying to Congress, lol (DHS-Office of the Inspector General). Oh, did you see the part about the woman who did the lying? She also authored this report. Ain't life grand?
