- 裁决为这名移民官员周四获释扫清障碍
- 克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗因明尼阿波利斯枪击案被控袭击罪
- 明尼苏达州官员称卡斯特罗若获释有潜逃风险
8月26日（路透社）——一名联邦法官周三驳回了明尼苏达州的请求，拒绝下令得州州长格雷格·雅培立即引渡一名被羁押的美国移民执法人员。该特工因在去年冬季明尼阿波利斯的驱逐行动期间开枪击中一名委内瑞拉男子腿部而面临袭击指控。
此次裁决为克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗扫清了获释障碍，这名美国移民与海关执法局特工于5月29日起被羁押在得州墨西哥湾沿岸边境城市布朗斯维尔，是根据明尼苏达州法院的逮捕令由得州骑警逮捕的，他将于周四获释。根据得州法律，等待引渡的人员的90天羁押期限将于当日到期。

明尼苏达州当局在法庭上辩称，自5月29日以来被羁押在得州布朗斯维尔的卡斯特罗若获释有潜逃风险。
卡斯特罗在明尼苏达州面临四项使用危险武器实施二级袭击的指控，以及一项虚假报案的指控。
检方称，这些指控源于1月14日的一起事件：当时正值美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在明尼阿波利斯开展驱逐行动的高峰期，卡斯特罗开枪打伤了胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯，随后捏造了他对一名手无寸铁的男子使用致命武力的理由。
目前无法联系到卡斯特罗置评，也不清楚他是否已聘请律师。
此次明尼阿波利斯驱逐行动名为“地铁突袭行动”，引发了数周的抗议活动，以及抗议者与移民与海关执法局特工之间的对峙，期间移民执法人员枪杀了两名美国公民。
索萨-塞利斯这名委内瑞拉国民遭枪击一案，已成为得州与明尼苏达州州长之间在移民管控问题上的争议焦点。
同为共和党人的雅培一直支持特朗普的驱逐行动，而包括州长蒂姆·瓦尔茨在内的明尼苏达州民主党领导人则谴责特朗普在明尼阿波利斯及其他城市部署武装移民与海关执法局特工的行动。
在周一提交的法庭简报中，雅培质疑是否应将卡斯特罗列为逃犯并因此启动引渡程序，因为枪击事件发生后，他并非逃离明尼苏达州，而是被移民与海关执法局的上级机构——美国国土安全部重新分配至他位于得州的老家基地。
明尼苏达州当局反驳称，卡斯特罗如何以及为何来到得州这一问题无关紧要，美国宪法和联邦法律要求各州引渡其他州通缉的罪犯。
在听取该案辩论的次日，美国联邦地区法官小费尔南多·罗德里格斯站在得州官员一方，裁决称没有证据表明雅培拒绝了引渡请求，只是他尚未做出决定。罗德里格斯得出结论，法律并未要求雅培在特定时限内移交逃犯。
罗德里格斯承认，卡斯特罗获释后有可能试图逃离美国，“给明尼苏达州的公诉工作带来困难”，但他认为这一前景并未改变他的法律结论。

US judge refuses to force extradition of jailed ICE agent from Texas to Minnesota

- Summary
- Ruling clears way for immigration officer’s release on Thursday
- Christian Castro charged with assault for Minneapolis shooting
- Minnesota officials say Castro poses a flight risk if freed
Aug 26 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request by Minnesota to force Texas Governor Greg Abbott to immediately extradite a jailed U.S. immigration agent facing assault charges for shooting a Venezuelan man in the leg during last winter’s deportation surge in Minneapolis.
The ruling clears the way for Christian Castro, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer arrested by Texas Rangers acting on a Minnesota court warrant, to be freed from custody on Thursday. That’s when a 90-day detention limit for someone awaiting extradition under Texas law is due to expire.

Minnesota authorities had argued in court that Castro, jailed in the Gulf Coast border city of Brownsville, Texas, since May 29, was a flight risk if he were released.
Castro is wanted in Minnesota to face four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and a charge of falsely reporting a crime.
The charges stem from an incident in which Castro shot and wounded Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis on January 14, at the height of U.S. President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign in Minneapolis, then fabricated his reason for using lethal force against a man who was unarmed, prosecutors say.
Castro could not be reached for comment and it was unclear whether he has retained a lawyer.
The Minneapolis deportation sweep, called Operation Metro Surge, drew weeks of demonstrations and confrontations between protesters and ICE agents in which immigration officers fatally shot two U.S. citizens.
The case surrounding the shooting of Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, has lingered as a flashpoint between the governors of Texas and Minnesota over immigration control.
Abbott, a fellow Republican, has been a supporter of Trump’s deportation efforts, while Minnesota’s Democratic leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, have condemned Trump’s surge of armed ICE patrols in Minneapolis and other cities.
In a court brief filed on Monday, Abbott questioned whether Castro should be classified as a fugitive, and thus subject to extradition, because he did not flee Minnesota but rather was reassigned to his home base in Texas by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE’s parent agency, after the shooting.
Minnesota authorities countered that the issue of how or why Castro ended up in Texas is immaterial, and that the U.S. Constitution and federal law require states to extradite people wanted for crimes in another state.
Siding with Texas officials a day after hearing arguments in the case, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. ruled that Abbott had not been shown to have refused the extradition request, only that he had not yet made a decision. Rodriguez concluded that the law does not require Abbott to turn over a fugitive within a certain time frame.
Rodriguez acknowledged the possibility that Castro could attempt to flee the U.S. after his release and “impose a hardship on Minnesota’s prosecutorial efforts,” but found that prospect does not alter his legal conclusions.
