ICE agent set for first court appearance in Minneapolis shooting case

ICE agent Christian Castro is scheduled for his first Hennepin County court appearance Thursday at 1:30 p.m. on state charges tied to a January Minneapolis shooting; he faces four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime after being booked into Hennepin County jail following a Minnesota BCA arrest. Castro had been released from a Texas jail in August after the 90‑day detention limit, remains suspended without pay, and federal charges previously alleged he lied about the shooting during separate proceedings.
