ICE officer Christian Castro was arrested in Texas Friday and charged by Hennepin County prosecutors over a non-fatal Minneapolis shooting that occurred in January. Prosecutors say Castro shot a Venezuela-born man during an immigration enforcement operation and then filed a false report about the encounter. He faces four felony counts and one misdemeanor count. The indictment represents a rare local prosecution of a federal immigration officer and raises questions about ICE use-of-force practices and officer accountability as the case moves forward.
