A Minnesota ICE agent has been criminally charged with second-degree assault and falsely reporting a crime after shooting a man and then lying about what happened, prosecutors say. Christian Castro, 52, faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
According to Law and Crime, the incident happened outside a Minneapolis duplex on January 14, at around 7 p.m. Julio Sosa-Celis, 24, was shot in the leg. The next day, the Trump administration put out a press release claiming that federal law enforcement officers were ambushed and attacked by three Venezuelan immigrants. But county law enforcement says that story was completely made up.
