ICE Agent Charged for Lying About Minneapolis Shooting During Crackdown
TL;DR Summary
An ICE agent, Christian Castro, was federally charged with lying to investigators about a nonfatal shooting during the Trump-era immigration crackdown in Minneapolis; the case marks the first known DOJ move to prosecute a federal immigration officer for actions in that operation. Castro allegedly fired his weapon, injuring Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, and then misled investigators about the incident. The DOJ’s charging decision followed internal debates on civil rights charges, while local authorities in Minnesota are pursuing state charges; Castro has been released from a Texas jail pending extradition decisions.
