明尼苏达州进步派总检察长基思·埃利森指责得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培将孤星州变成了“暴力罪犯的庇护州”。此前,一名被控在明尼阿波利斯枪击男子的移民海关执法局(ICE)特工从得克萨斯州监狱获释,此举升级了两州之间充满政治色彩的引渡争端。
移民海关执法局特工克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗被控与1月份明尼阿波利斯发生的一起非致命枪击案有关,周四从得克萨斯州南部一所监狱获释。此前一名联邦法官驳回了明尼苏达州要求继续羁押卡斯特罗并迫使雅培签署引渡令的紧急请求。根据得克萨斯州法律,引渡前的羁押期限一般限制为90天,而雅培尚未决定是否批准明尼苏达州的引渡请求。
“这不是政治——这不是一场游戏,”卡斯特罗获释后,埃利森在一份声明中说道。“如果(州长)可以根据政治偏好推迟引渡、选择性办案,那么任何州都无法追究逃犯的责任。”

与此同时,埃利森在X平台上写道,通过“拒绝引渡卡斯特罗,格雷格·雅培正将德克萨斯州变成暴力罪犯的庇护州。”

“你们这帮律师太差劲了。你们出庭时毫无准备、一无所知、也没有说服力。你们不懂法律,这一点暴露无遗,”雅培在回应埃利森称德克萨斯州是“暴力罪犯庇护州”的帖子时在X平台上写道。
“明尼苏达州才是庇护州的字面定义,因为你们拒绝协助执行移民法,”雅培回击道。“如果我们再次出现像乔·拜登这样的总统,我会把明尼阿波利斯列为未来巴士遣送的首选地点。”
卡斯特罗面临四项二级袭击重罪指控和一项虚假报案轻罪指控——这些指控由明尼苏达州一家州法院提起。他被控在1月份的一次ICE行动中,向明尼阿波利斯北部一所有人居住的住宅前门开枪,击中了胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯的腿部。卡斯特罗一直辩称自己是正当防卫。

亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂的办公室在明尼苏达州刑事调查局调查后,对卡斯特罗提起了上述州级指控。特朗普政府最初将这一事件描述为对ICE特工的袭击,但ICE后来将卡斯特罗和另一名特工停职,因为其代理局长称他们似乎对事发经过作出了“不实陈述”。

明尼苏达州检察官表示,监控录像和其他证据与卡斯特罗的说法相矛盾——卡斯特罗称自己是在遭到扫帚和雪铲袭击后才开枪的。最初针对索萨-塞利斯和另一名男子提起的联邦袭击指控后来被撤销,检察官称新证据“与最初的指控存在重大矛盾”。

雅培表示,德克萨斯州正在调查卡斯特罗是否符合可被引渡的逃犯资格,并指出该特工是根据联邦命令返回德克萨斯州,而非主动逃离明尼苏达州。州长办公室对法官的裁决表示赞赏,指责明尼苏达州试图迫使雅培的审查工作限期完成。
福克斯新闻数字频道就州长计划如何回应明尼苏达州的引渡请求,以及就德克萨斯州对卡斯特罗逃犯身份的审查进行澄清一事询问了雅培的办公室,但在发稿前未收到回复。

Abbott taunts far-left AG with fiery warning over ICE extradition fight: ‘Such bad lawyers’

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison accused Gov Greg Abbott of ‘turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals’

Minnesota’s progressive Attorney General Keith Ellison accused Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of turning the Lone Star State into a “sanctuary state for violent criminals” after an ICE agent charged in the shooting of a man in Minneapolis was released from a Texas jail, escalating a politically charged extradition fight between the two states.
Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent charged in connection with a non-fatal January shooting in Minneapolis, was released Thursday from a south Texas jail after a federal judge denied Minnesota’s emergency request to keep him in custody and compel Abbott to sign the extradition warrant. Texas law generally limits pre-extradition detention to 90 days, and Abbott has not yet decided whether to approve Minnesota’s request.
“This is not politics — this is not a game,” Ellison said in a statement after Castro’s release. “If [a governor] can delay extraditions and cherry-pick cases according to their political tastes, then no state will be able to hold fugitive criminals accountable.”

Meanwhile, Ellison wrote on X that by “refusing to extradite Castro, Greg Abbott is turning Texas into a sanctuary state for violent criminals.”

“You guys are such bad lawyers. You showed up unprepared, uninformed & unpersuasive. You don’t know the law & it showed,” Abbott wrote on X in response to Ellison’s post calling Texas a “sanctuary state for violent criminals.”
“Minn. is the literal definition of a sanctuary state because you refuse to assist in enforcing immigration laws,” Abbott shot back. “I’ll put Minneapolis at the top of the list for future bus drop offs if we ever have a President like Joe Biden again.”
Castro faces four felony counts of second-degree assault and one misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime – charges filed by a Minnesota state court. He is accused of firing through the front door of an occupied north Minneapolis home during an ICE operation in January, striking Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg. Castro has maintained that he acted in self-defense.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office filed the underlying state charges against Castro following an investigation by Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. The Trump administration initially cast the episode as an attack on an ICE officer, but ICE later placed Castro and another agent on administrative leave after its acting director said they appeared to have made “untruthful statements” about what happened.

Minnesota prosecutors say surveillance video and other evidence contradict Castro’s account that he fired after being attacked with a broom and snow shovel. Federal assault charges initially filed against Sosa-Celis and another man were later dismissed after prosecutors said new evidence was “materially inconsistent” with the original allegations.

Abbott has said Texas is investigating whether Castro qualifies as a fugitive subject to extradition, noting that the agent returned to Texas on federal orders rather than voluntarily fleeing Minnesota. The governor’s office praised the judge’s ruling, accusing Minnesota of trying to force a deadline on Abbott’s review.
Fox News Digital asked Abbott’s office about how the governor was planning to act on Minnesota’s extradition request and for clarification on Texas’ review of Castro’s fugitive status, but did not receive a response before publication.
