ICE Agent Charged in Minneapolis Shooting | Houston News
Fifty-two-year-old federal immigration agent Christian Castro is caught in a whirlwind of legal trouble after allegedly shooting and wounding Julio Sosa-Celis through a closed door in Minneapolis. Initially, DHS claimed Castro was attacked with a broom and shovel, even charging Sosa-Celis and his roommate — but that story collapsed when surveillance footage surfaced, leading to those charges being dropped. Now, Castro faces six federal counts for lying to the FBI and state assault charges, with bond conditions ranging from passport surrender to electronic monitoring and curfews. His arrest in downtown Minneapolis marks the start of a messy, high-stakes battle across state and federal courts, as prosecutors scramble to untangle conflicting narratives and Attorney General seeks better inter-state cooperation.

ICE Agent Faces Charges Over Shooting | Houston News
Former ICE agent Christian Castro, 52, faces six federal charges for allegedly lying to investigators after a deadly January immigration raid in Minneapolis — where he claims he shot Julio Sosa-Celis in self-defense, though evidence contradicts that. Pleading not guilty, Castro is under strict conditions: no travel to Mexico, a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, and electronic monitoring after posting $200K bail. Initially arrested in Texas, he was released due to detention limits, then federally indicted in September before driving to Minnesota for arrest. Suspended without pay, Castro made his first court appearance yesterday — despite being considered a flight risk — and walked out after bonding. This case, labeled complex, adds fuel to the unrest sparked by recent incidents in the city.
