华盛顿 — 据多名知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，联邦检察官已起诉一名在明尼苏达州枪击一名委内瑞拉移民的移民海关执法局官员，指控其就该事件向调查人员作出虚假陈述。
这名官员名叫克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗，当地检察官已于5月对其提起诉讼，但得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培拒绝引渡他，引发了一场法律纠纷。他于上周从得克萨斯州一所监狱获释。
据知情人士透露，联邦大陪审团于周三公布了一项六项罪名的起诉书，但该案尚未公开。一名消息人士称，执法人员目前正在寻找卡斯特罗。美联社最先报道了联邦检察官已对卡斯特罗提起诉讼的消息。
这起案件核心的枪击事件发生在特朗普政府时期明尼苏达州的联邦移民突击行动期间，就在特工枪杀蕾妮·古德仅一周后。
今年1月，两名男子阿尔弗雷多·亚历杭德罗·阿尔霍纳和胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯被联邦指控以暴力方式袭击、抗拒或妨碍联邦执法人员。委内瑞拉移民索萨-塞利斯的腿部曾被一名移民海关执法局特工枪击。
枪击事件发生前后的现场描述出现了变化。美国国土安全部最初称，索萨-塞利斯在交通拦截中逃离，撞车后徒步逃跑。国土安全部称，两名男子从附近公寓走出，用扫帚柄和雪铲袭击特工。索萨-塞利斯据称挣脱后也开始攻击警员，国土安全部补充称，随后一名警员开枪“为自保作出了防卫性射击”。
但为指控这两名男子提交的联邦调查局宣誓书显示，逃跑的是阿尔霍纳，当时警员试图逮捕阿尔霍纳，索萨-塞利斯先用扫帚棍袭击了卡斯特罗。一名民主党州议员分享的手机视频显示，一名女子拨打911报警称，她的丈夫在抵达自家门前时被移民海关执法局特工追捕，并在家人面前被枪击。

针对阿尔霍纳和索萨-塞利斯的指控很快被撤销。联邦检察官于2月以“新发现的证据”与对他们的指控“存在实质性矛盾”为由，撤销了该案。此次撤诉带有“禁止再诉”条款，意味着无法再次提起诉讼。
时任移民海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯表示，视频证据与卡斯特罗和另一名警员的宣誓证词相矛盾。两人均被停职。卡斯特罗此后被停发薪酬停职。
“视频证据显示，两名警员的宣誓证词似乎存在不实陈述，”莱昂斯当时说道，“两名警员已立即被置于行政休假状态，等待完成全面的内部调查。在宣誓后撒谎是严重的联邦犯罪行为。”
DOJ charges ICE officer who shot immigrant in Minnesota with lying to investigators

Washington — Federal prosecutors have charged an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot a Venezuelan immigrant in Minnesota with making false statements to investigators about the incident, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News.
The officer, Christian Castro, was charged in May by local prosecutors, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has refused to extradite him, prompting a legal battle. He was released from a Texas jail last week.
A federal grand jury returned a six-count indictment Wednesday, but the case has not yet been unsealed, the sources said. Law enforcement officers are currently trying to locate Castro, one source said. The Associated Press first reported Castro had been charged by federal prosecutors.
The shooting at the center of the case occurred during the Trump administration’s federal immigration surge in Minnesota, just a week after agents killed Renee Good.
In January, two men, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, were hit with federal charges of forcibly assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers. Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant, had been shot by an ICE agent in the leg.
Accounts of the interaction that led to the shooting shifted in the immediate aftermath. The Department of Homeland Security initially said Sosa-Celis fled a traffic stop, crashed the vehicle and fled on foot. DHS said two men emerged from a nearby apartment and attacked the agent with a broom handle and snow shovel. Sosa-Celis allegedly broke free and also started striking the officer, DHS said, adding that an officer then fired a “defensive shot to defend his life.”
But an FBI affidavit filed to support the charges against the two men said Aljorna was the one who fled, and that Sosa-Celis initially struck Castro with a broomstick while the agent tried to arrest Aljorna. And cellphone video shared by a Democratic state lawmaker showed a woman telling 911 that her husband was chased by ICE agents before he reached his home, and was shot in front of his family.

The charges against Aljorna and Sosa-Celis soon unraveled. Federal prosecutors dropped the case in February, citing “newly discovered evidence” that was “materially inconsistent” with the allegations against them. The charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they could not be reintroduced.
Todd Lyons, then the acting head of ICE, said that video evidence contradicted statements made under oath by Castro and a second officer. Both were placed on leave. Castro has since been suspended without pay.
“Video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements,” Lyons said at the time. “Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation. Lying under oath is a serious federal offense.”
