Federal judge denies Minnesota bid to compel extradition of ICE officer from Texas, paving the way for his release
Americas5 sources1 country45m ago
A judge has denied Minnesota's request to extradite Christian Castro, an ICE officer currently held in Texas, clearing the way for his release from custody. Castro faces criminal charges in Minnesota, including assault and falsely reporting a crime, in connection to the January 14 shooting of 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.
Minnesota officials had opposed the release, arguing that Castro poses a flight risk. According to court filings, authorities cite recorded jailhouse communications in which Castro discussed plans to marry a woman in Mexico and purchase a home there following his release.
