Castro Set to Walk Free Amid Extradition Battle | Rochester News

An ICE agent accused of shooting a man and lying about it could walk free Thursday—thanks to Texas law’s 90-day extradition deadline. Minnesota’s legal push to stop his release failed in federal court, which ruled the case isn’t “ripe” yet. The judge sided with Texas, saying Minnesota can’t sue over what Governor Abbott might do. Still, Minnesota officials blast Abbott for dragging out the process, warning Castro is a flight risk—and blaming him if Castro escapes. Abbott’s office celebrates the ruling as a victory for state authority. The drama continues as Minnesota vows to keep fighting.
