Judge sides with Texas over Minnesota in extradition case involving ICE officer

(The Center Square) – Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is not acting in bad faith by reviewing an extradition request from the state of Minnesota seeking to prosecute an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accusing of shooting into a Minnesota home, a federal judge ruled.

ICE officer Christian Castro is in custody in Cameron County, Texas. Castro was arrested in May by the Texas Rangers after Minnesota prosecutors issued a warrant for his arrest on four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. He is accused of firing into a Minneapolis home, striking a Venezuelan national’s leg, The Center Square reported.
