ICE Agent Charged for Lying About Minneapolis Shooting During Crackdown

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.

Federal indictment over World War II Memorial vandalism on the National Mall

A federal grand jury indicted Melissa Farris, 41, for vandalizing the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., after live-streaming herself dumping soap into the fountain and spraying red and green paint on the granite. She faces two felonies—destruction of a veterans memorial and destruction of government property—with a maximum combined sentence of 10 years, and damages exceed $1,000. The next court hearing is set in D.C.; the incident drew condemnation from Trump and lawmakers, while Farris says she aimed to protest health-care funding issues at a former Kentucky employer.
