Minnesota attorney general sues Texas governor to compel extradition of ICE agent for trial
State prosecutors say video contradicted the federal account and they need custody of Christian Castro to pursue four assault counts and a false-reporting charge.
- Minnesota is suing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday to compel the extradition of ICE agent Christian Castro, who faces charges in a Minneapolis shooting during Operation Metro Surge.
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty charged Castro for the January 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis; the Department of Homeland Security claimed self-defense, but video footage contradicted that account.
- Castro remains in a Texas jail on a $200,000 bond following his May 29 arrest; Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has yet to sign the extradition request sent by Gov. Tim Walz in June.
- The Department of Homeland Security has characterized the charges against Castro as "political stunt" and "unlawful," while Moriarty also charged agent Gregory Donnell Morgan for brandishing a weapon on Highway 62.
- Attorney General Keith Ellison and Moriarty are pursuing evidence sharing from federal authorities, though the office has not announced decisions on potential charges regarding other fatal shootings involving ICE agents.
