A civil rights group has accused the FBI of threatening to deport the friend of a Chechen man shot to death in his Orlando apartment by an agent during questioning about a Boston Marathon bombing suspect.

Officials originally said the Chechen man lunged at an agent with a knife. They later said it was no longer clear what happened.
The agent suffered a visual hallucination and thought that he's facing a dog.
