Extradition bid blocked for ICE officer, potential release looms in Texas

A federal judge declined to order Texas to extradite ICE officer Christian Castro, who is charged in Minnesota with assault and falsely reporting a crime after a Jan. 14 Minneapolis shooting. Castro remains in Brownsville, Texas and could be released after 90 days unless extradition is granted, as Minnesota sought a temporary restraining order to prevent release. Minnesota argued he is a flight risk based on calls to a woman in Mexico and plans to settle there; Gov. Greg Abbott has not moved on the extradition request, leaving the outcome uncertain as the case unfolds in federal court in Brownsville.

Officials described the moves as a blow to the office's credibility, drawing reactions from Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar as broader questions about politics and justice unfold in Minnesota.
