Texas Judge Denies Extradition of ICE Officer Charged in Minnesota Shooting
A federal judge in Texas denied Minnesota's request to extradite ICE officer Christian Castro, charged with shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and falsely reporting the incident during a 2023 immigration operation in Minneapolis. Castro remains in Texas custody but faces release after 90 days unless extradited. Minnesota officials argue Castro is a flight risk, citing calls to Mexico, while Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declined extradition, citing an ongoing investigation. The case highlights tensions between Minnesota and Texas over immigration enforcement.
