ICE Agent Charged in Minnesota Shooting Is Arrested in Texas

MINNEAPOLIS — 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 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 spokesperson for the office, said investigators from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General and from the Texas Rangers had helped take Castro into custody.
