A federal immigration officer wanted in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s Minnesota crackdown was arrested Friday in Texas, authorities said.

Christian Castro, of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, was taken into custody 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.

Hennepin County, Minnesota prosecutors said the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension located Castro, 52, in Texas, and the Texas Rangers said they assisted in the arrest in Cameron County, which borders Mexico in the southernmost part of the state.

guessing he didnt get accidentally shot while a bodycam was covered

[-] Arrandee@lemmy.world 49 points 6 hours ago

Was he attempting to flee illegally into Mexico? Oh, the irony.

There's an unusually high number of Hispanic ice agents.

Not that unusual if you know a lot of hispanic people in the US. There's a lot of pulling up the ladder and pick-me-ism. People who "did it the right way" and succeeded purely on their own merit (not like those illegals). These people vote republican, may consider themselves white and even be white nationalists - like the proud boys leader who was hispanic (edit: enrique tarrio, forgot his name. Man is an afro-cuban white nationalist smh).

Plenty of hispanic ppl who aren't like that, obviously. But it's common.

Tarrio will always be hilarious to me, in a literal sense of the word.

Irony & Hypocrisy, the trademark of the GOP.

10,000 hours of community service taking care of the homeless.

(Which is perfect. He'll either grow as a person and learn to love work that helps people ... or he'll suffer through every minute of it. Win/win!)

In before Trump pardons this man like the evil fuck he is and sets the precedence for every ice agent in America that it's ok to just kill anyone you want for any reason.

I garuntee you it's going to happen, Trump wants a full on genocide, the dude practically worships Hitler. Maga at this point is a terrorist faction.

Minnesota prosecutors These are state charges, not federal, so Trump has no power to pardon this one, only the MN governor could.

[-] Meat_Of_Nan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

That's good news. As long as the Minnesota government doesn't worship Trump, this stain can face some justice.

[-] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 10 points 4 hours ago

Tim Walz isn't going to pardon him.

[-] Meat_Of_Nan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Best News I heard all night.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

We need a golden net pin, statue, thingy to commemorate catching these subhumans, like all the golden gifts they've been giving each other for committing their atrocities.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

What might that even look like? Personally I feel like we shouldn't go into skull territory, but I'm not a designer.

A clown in a cage.
