ICE officer lied about shovel and broom attack before Minnesota shooting, Justice Department alleges
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Christian Castro, an ICE officer, has been indicted for allegedly lying about an incident that led to the shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in Minnesota. Castro claimed he was attacked with a broom and shovel before he shot Sosa-Celis in January. He pleaded not guilty to six counts of making false statements and appeared in a Texas federal court where he was briefly shackled. The case is notable as it marks the first prosecution of a federal officer related to this year's Operation Metro Surge. The Justice Department is investigating whether more serious civil rights charges could be filed against Castro.
