Minnesota attorney general sues Texas governor in case of ICE agent charged with wounding a man in Minneapolis Minnesota’s attorney general has sued the governor of Texas to force him to extradite an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent charged with wounding a man and then lying to justify the shooting during the US agency’s controversial crackdown in Minneapolis. Keith Ellison, Minnesota’s attorney general, is asking a federal judge to bar the sheriff in Cameron county, Texas, from releasing ICE agent Christian Castro, and to order Greg Abbott , Texas’s governor, to sign his extradition warrant so that Minnesota officers can take custody. Castro was arrested in Texas in May, 11 days after Minnesota prosecutors charged him with four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime in connection with the 14 January shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant. But he has still not been extradited to Minnesota to face the charges.
