ICE Agent Faces Multiple Charges in Minnesota Shooting Case

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Christian Castro was arrested in Texas and brought to Minnesota to face state and federal charges stemming from a January shooting that injured a Venezuelan immigrant. He waived extradition, was released on $200,000 bail with electronic monitoring and firearm/witness-contact restrictions, and faces four counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon in the state case and six counts of making false statements in a federal indictment; a federal preliminary hearing is scheduled as prosecutors pursue accountability in on‑duty immigration enforcement cases.
