Federal Officer Charged in Twin Cities Operation | San Antonio News

Federal officer Christian Castro is now facing criminal charges in both state and federal court after allegedly shooting a 24-year-old man during Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities — the first time the Justice Department is prosecuting a federal agent for actions in that operation. Prosecutors claim Castro fired through a door, lied about being attacked, and is now on $75,000 bond with a GPS monitor and no gun or passport access. His DHS suspension and the Trump administration’s accusation that Minnesota’s prosecution is a “political stunt” have turned this into a high-stakes jurisdiction battle, with Texas officials initially refusing to extradite him — until he voluntarily surrendered to federal authorities.
