ICE officer charged in Minneapolis shooting released in Texas after immediate extradition rejected
- On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Christian Castro was released from a Brownsville jail after a federal judge refused to order his extradition to Minnesota.
- Authorities arrested Castro in May for the January 14 shooting of 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, though Texas law required his release after 90 days of detention.
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a restraining order to block the release, but U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. ruled the case not ripe for adjudication while Texas investigates if Castro is legally a "Fugitive."
- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is awaiting results of an internal investigation before responding to the extradition request, while press secretary Andrew Mahaleris welcomed the court's ruling.
- Citing jailhouse calls, Minnesota officials expressed concerns that Castro could flee to Mexico, and Ellison stated his office will continue litigating the case.
