Minnesota seeks federal order to extradite ICE agent over Minneapolis shooting

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a federal lawsuit to compel Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to sign the extradition warrant for Christian Castro, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged in Minnesota with multiple felonies tied to a January Minneapolis shooting. If Abbott delays further, Castro could be released in Texas under state rules after up to 90 days. The suit cites Supreme Court precedent mandating extradition and seeks to keep Castro in Minnesota to face justice, amid mounting political pressure from Minnesota officials and Texas Democrats.
