ICE Agent Charged in Minnesota Shooting Is Arrested in Texas
Law enforcement officials from Minnesota and Texas on Friday arrested an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant this year and lying about it.The agent, Christian Castro, 52, was arrested in Texas after investigators from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tracked him down, according to the Hennepin County attorney’s office, which had charged him with four counts of second-degree assault earlier this month.
“Today’s arrest is a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro,” Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, said in a statement.
Daniel Borgertpoepping, a spokesman for the office, said that investigators from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and from the Texas Rangers had helped take Mr. Castro into custody.
ICE Agent Wanted in Minneapolis Shooting Is Captured in Texas
Christian Castro, who had been charged with assault in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, was taken into custody Friday morning.
As I recall, it was video of the ICE officer taken during the incident, later made available to MN authorities, that helped prove Castro had lied about what happened.
Begging the question, what the heck is going on with the investigations in to Good and Pretti being shot in broad daylight by federal agents. There's certainly no lack of film footage showing what happened. The last time I heard anything about the cases it was that the feds are still stonewalling state authorities with respect to evidence sharing. So, much the like the schoolhouse bombing in Iran, the regime is what?..............hoping the public will lose interest. Hoping those responsible can get away with murder? Or in the case of the bombing not acknowledge a careless error?
Doesn't the American public deserve to have their government be transparent about these incidents and seek justice? Or is that now just a quaint notion along with following the rule of law?
