Immigration Officer Arrested in Texas

Federal immigration officer Christian Castro, wanted for shooting a Venezuelan man in January, has been arrested in Texas—just days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and false reporting. The incident unfolded during a chase in Minneapolis, where Castro allegedly fired through a door, hitting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the thigh. Both men were legally present in the U.S. at the time. The arrest marks a major escalation in the ongoing feud between local prosecutors and federal immigration authorities, with ICE calling the county attorney’s actions “political stunt.” Footage from a city camera captures the tense moments before the shooting, while the broader context includes the Trump-era deployment of thousands of ICE officers to Minnesota as part of a national deportation push—local officials pushing back with investigations and lawsuits over evidence access.
