State prosecutors in Minnesota pressed charges on Monday against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent involved in a January shooting. The incident occurred amidst a widespread border enforcement crackdown initiated across the region by the Trump administration.

Officials confirmed that ICE agent Christian Castro faces multiple counts, marking a rare instance of state-level prosecution against a federal officer. The move underscores growing scrutiny of Operation Metro Surge, a crackdown that left several residents injured and two US citizens dead.
