Castro’s Shooting Case Sparks Legal Firestorm | Columbia News

A federal immigration officer is facing serious charges after allegedly shooting through a door into a Minneapolis home, wounding a man and falsely reporting the crime. His extradition from Texas was delayed amid state investigations, but he was eventually released after a judge declined to order his transfer. The victim’s attorney says the federal charges are too lenient, while the ACLU says damages will be pursued. A prosecutor pushing for stronger civil rights charges was blocked — then fired — sparking further controversy. DHS claims Minnesota lacks jurisdiction, and Castro was suspended without pay during the probe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
