Minnesota vs Texas Over ICE Officer | Hattiesburg News

Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison is suing Texas Governor Greg Abbott to bring back a federal ICE agent, Christian Castro, accused of shooting and lying about a deadly incident in Minneapolis. Castro allegedly fired through a door, injuring a legally present resident, then fabricated a story blaming victims for the attack. Ellison demands Abbott hand over Castro and sign extradition papers, arguing Minnesota has jurisdiction — but Abbott refuses, using unrelated claims about social services as leverage. While Minnesota officials say this shouldn’t be a legal battle at all, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security calls it a “political stunt,” insisting only federal authorities can prosecute. The case now hinges on a Supreme Court precedent that governors can’t block extradition — turning a local crime into a high-stakes clash between state and federal power.
