Christian Castro, an ICE agent, has been arrested in Texas after being charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime related to a nonfatal shooting incident that occurred in Minneapolis on January 14. The shooting involved Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was struck in the leg, and his cousin Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, both of whom were initially accused of attacking Castro during a confrontation linked to Operation Metro Surge. This marks the second time a federal agent has faced charges for conduct during this immigration enforcement operation, with federal charges against Sosa-Celis and Aljorna being dropped earlier this year.
