Extradition Denial Exposes a Web of Immunity for Federal Agents A US District judge has declined Minnesota's request to force Texas to extradite ICE agent Christian Castro, sparking outrage and raising questions about the accountability of federal agents involved in high profile cases.
Castro faces charges of assault and falsely reporting a crime after shooting Julio Cesar Sosa Celis during an immigration raid in January.
The case is disturbing, with Castro accused of firing through the front door of Sosa Celis's home as part of Operation Metro Surge, a short lived but highly contentious deployment of federal agents to Minnesota in December 2019.
