DOJ Fires Prosecutor After ICE Shooting Civil-Rights Push
TL;DR Summary
The Trump-era DOJ fired Minneapolis-based Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Evans, who pressed for civil-rights charges against ICE agent Christian Castro for a January shooting through a closed door during Operation Metro Surge. Main Justice reportedly blocked the effort; Castro was indicted on false-statements charges, while Evans is now under federal investigation for leaks or obstruction as new video evidence undermined Castro’s account and the civil-rights push collapsed.
