Minnesota sues Texas governor, Cameron County to extradite ICE agent in shooting
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott to extradite ICE agent Christian Castro, who is charged with shooting a victim in a Minneapolis home. The incident occurred on January 14, 2026, when Castro allegedly fired into an occupied residence, injuring a person in the leg. Castro was arrested by Texas Rangers on May 29, 2026, and a Cameron County judge has ordered him held for extradition. Ellison's lawsuit seeks to compel Abbott to sign the extradition warrant and prevent Castro's release, arguing that his refusal poses a flight risk. Castro remains in custody at the Cameron County Jail.
