Minnesota Attorney General Sues Governor Abbott to Demand Extradition of ICE Agent
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
CAMERON, Texas – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Texas Governor Greg Abbott, seeking to compel the extradition of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent to face charges of assault and false reporting related to injuries sustained by a man during an agency operation in Minneapolis. Ellison stated he would seek a temporary restraining order to prevent the Cameron County Sheriff's Office in Texas from releasing ICE agent Christian Castro and to require Abbott to sign the extradition order allowing Minnesota authorities to take custody of him. Castro was arrested 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and false reporting in connection with a shooting that did not result in any fatalities, which occurred on January 14 against Julio César Sosa-Celis. The criminal complaint alleges that Castro fired his weapon at the front door of a residence in Minneapolis, injuring the victim in the leg before the bullet lodged in a child's bedroom wall, and that he subsequently provided false information to an officer about the incident.
