ICE agent accused of shooting man in north Minneapolis arrested in Texas
Hennepin County prosecutors say the 52-year-old agent faces five counts after the Jan. 14 shooting, and investigators found him in Texas.
- On Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Christian Castro was arrested in Texas, facing Minnesota charges of second-degree assault and falsely reporting a crime stemming from the January 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis.
- Homeland Security initially claimed three people assaulted the officer for three minutes, but video evidence released by the City of Minneapolis contradicts that account, showing Sosa-Celis slipping and falling while fleeing.
- Federal prosecutors dismissed charges against Sosa-Celis and his roommate, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, after "newly discovered evidence" clashed with accounts of two ICE agents under investigation for lying under oath.
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty called the arrest a "critical step forward," while an ICE spokesperson labeled the charges "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt."
- Another ICE agent, Gregory Donnell Morgan, faces charges for allegedly pointing a gun at a driver on Highway 62 in February, intensifying scrutiny of the agency's conduct.
