ICE officer charged with shooting in Minnesota could be released from Texas jail
Minnesota officials say a 90-day Texas detention limit could free Christian Castro before a judge rules on their extradition request.
- On Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Christian Castro could be released from a South Texas jail after 90 days of detention unless a federal judge intervenes with a ruling Wednesday.
- Following the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Minnesota authorities charged Castro with assault and falsely reporting a crime after he allegedly fired through a Minneapolis home door. Prosecutors say Castro falsely claimed Sosa-Celis attacked him.
- During a Tuesday hearing in Brownsville, attorneys for the Minnesota Attorney General argued that releasing Castro poses a significant flight risk. Texas Governor Greg Abbott's legal team countered that the lawsuit is premature.
- Citing ongoing fraud investigations in Minnesota, Abbott has not responded to the extradition request. General counsel Trevor W. Ezell ordered an internal investigation to determine if Castro is legally considered a "fugitive."
- U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez noted, "I think ripeness is a significant issue" regarding the lawsuit. Minnesota attorney Kimberly Ann Svendsen countered, "There's nothing legally left for them to investigate.
