Minnesota vs Texas Over ICE Agent | Amarillo News

Minnesota’s Attorney General is suing Texas Governor Greg Abbott to force the extradition of ICE agent Christian Castro, accused of fatally shooting a Minneapolis man in January 2026 and then lying about it. With Castro potentially released as early as August 26th, Minnesota insists federal law requires his return — but Texas refuses, citing unrelated fraud probes. The case pits state authority against federal jurisdiction, raising urgent questions about accountability for federal officers on duty. Homeland Security calls the prosecution a “political stunt,” while Minnesota’s AG warns Castro could flee to Mexico if not extradited swiftly.
