Cameron County sheriff says he must release jailed ICE agent unless federal court steps in
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Cameron County Sheriff Manuel Treviño announced he must release ICE agent Christian Castro unless a federal court intervenes. This follows a lawsuit from Minnesota seeking Castro's extradition on charges of second-degree assault and false reporting related to a January 2026 shooting. Castro, jailed without bond since May 30, 2026, refused to waive extradition. Texas law mandates that individuals arrested on out-of-state warrants cannot be held for more than 90 days without a governor's warrant. A hearing for a temporary restraining order is scheduled for August 25, 2026, as Minnesota's governor has requested action from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has yet to respond.
