ICE agent charged with shooting immigrant
|
Prosecutors in Minnesota have issued a nationwide arrest warrant for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis during the federal government’s Operation Metro Surge earlier this year. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty identified the ICE agent as Christian J. Castro, 52. Her office charged Castro with shooting Julio C. Sosa-Celis and injuring his leg as ICE agents were chasing another man in north Minneapolis on Jan. 14. Investigators said ICE agents surrounded the home after the shooting, deployed tear gas, and later entered the residence, taking four adults into custody.
