An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan man during President Donald Trump's expanded immigration crackdown in Minnesota has been arrested in Texas, marking the first known ICE agent arrest tied to the administration's current enforcement surge.
Christian J. Castro, 52, was taken into custody Friday morning after Hennepin County prosecutors issued a nationwide warrant for his arrest, according to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, as reported by the Minnesota Reformer. Castro was charged May 18 with four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime in connection with the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in north Minneapolis.
