据多名知情人士透露,一名美国移民及海关执法局特工因谎报今年早些时候枪击一名委内瑞拉移民腿部的事件经过,已遭到联邦指控。
针对ICE特工克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗的指控尚未公开,但一名知情人士告诉CNN,他面临多项虚假陈述罪名。
这是美国司法部首次针对全国范围内广受关注的移民执法行动中在职警官的行为提出指控。明尼苏达州当地检察官已于今年早些时候以二级袭击和虚假报告罪名起诉卡斯特罗。
CNN尝试联系卡斯特罗的律师置评。
一名消息人士称,司法部仍在考虑是否对卡斯特罗提起民权指控。
卡斯特罗还面临明尼苏达州的另一项州级指控。上周,在得克萨斯州州长拒绝立即批准将其引渡至明尼苏达州后,他已从得克萨斯州一所监狱获释。

联邦检察官最初指控被卡斯特罗枪击的24岁男子胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯和另一名男子用雪铲和扫帚棍袭击ICE特工。但在调查人员查看了与卡斯特罗说法相矛盾的监控录像和事件相关其他材料后,这些指控被撤销。

卡斯特罗和另一名特工很快被置于行政休假状态。联邦检察官在审理索萨-塞利斯案件的法官面前表示,这些特工在宣誓后作出了“虚假陈述”,前ICE局长托德·莱昂斯随后表示,司法部正在调查这些“不实陈述”。
今年5月起诉卡斯特罗的明尼苏达州检察官称,他透过索萨-塞利斯公寓的门开枪击中了索萨-塞利斯的腿部后侧。
州方指控称,枪击事件发生在ICE特工试图拦下一名属于无证移民霍夫雷·巴雷拉的卡车之后。索萨-塞利斯的堂兄、DoorDash司机阿尔弗雷多·亚历杭德罗·阿尔霍纳当时在驾驶车辆,并驾车逃离了特工。
据索萨-塞利斯称,阿尔霍纳从卡车上跑下来,在距离索萨-塞利斯公寓几步远的地方被一名ICE特工扑倒。索萨-塞利斯呼喊阿尔霍纳进屋,两人都躲到门后后,枪声响起,索萨-塞利斯说道。
“我关上门,正在锁门的时候,我听到了枪声,这时我才意识到自己腿部中枪了,”索萨-塞利斯当时在医院通过Facebook直播告诉CNN。

ICE agent federally charged with lying over shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been federally charged with lying about the events leading up to his shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg earlier this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

The charges against ICE officer Christian Castro are not yet publicly available, but a person familiar with the matter told CNN that he is facing several counts of making false statements.

This is the first time the Justice Department has charged an officer for conduct that occurred on-duty during highly publicized immigration operations nationwide. Local prosecutors in Minnesota had already charged Castro with second-degree assault and making a false report earlier this year.

CNN attempted to reach a lawyer for Castro for comment.

The Justice Department is still considering whether to bring civil rights charges against Castro, one of the sources said.

Castro also faces the separate state charges in Minnesota. He was released from a Texas jail last week after the governor there declined to immediately approve his extradition to Minnesota.

Federal prosecutors initially charged 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, whom Castro shot, and another man with attacking an ICE officer with a snow shovel and broom stick. But those charges were dropped after investigators reviewed surveillance footage and other material from the incident that conflicted with Castro’s account.

Castro and a second agent were soon placed on administrative leave. Federal prosecutors told the judge overseeing the case against Sosa-Celis that the agents had made “false statements” under oath, and former ICE Director Todd Lyons said later the Justice Department was investigating the “untruthful statements.”

Prosecutors in Minnesota, who charged Castro in May, allege that he shot Sosa-Celis in the back of the leg through the door of Sosa-Celis’ apartment.

The shooting occurred after ICE officers had attempted to pull over a truck belonging to an undocumented immigrant named Joffre Barrera, the state alleged. Sosa-Celis’ cousin and DoorDash driver, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, was behind the wheel and drove off from the officers, they said.

According to Sosa-Celis, Aljorna ran from the truck and was tackled steps away from Sosa-Celis’ apartment by an ICE agent. Sosa-Celis called for Aljorna to get inside and, once both cousins were behind the door, a shot rang out, Sosa-Celis said.

“I closed the door and as I was locking it, I heard the shot, and that’s when I realized I had been shot in the leg,” Sosa-Celis told CNN at the time during a Facebook livestream from a hospital.
