- 州级指控首次庭审定于周四举行
9月16日（路透社）——一名联邦移民官员因在明尼阿波利斯枪击一名委内瑞拉男子并致其受伤而面临袭击指控，该特工于周三在明尼阿波利斯被捕，此次对峙事件已成为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普移民驱逐扫荡行动的导火索，距今已有八个月。
美国移民海关执法局特工克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗由明尼苏达州刑事调查局特工在明尼阿波利斯市中心逮捕，并已根据未执行逮捕令被关押在亨内平县监狱，该机构表示。

本月早些时候，卡斯特罗在得克萨斯州麦卡伦的美国联邦地区法院首次出庭，就其在1月14日枪击事件发生经过向调查人员撒谎的指控接受问询，之后从联邦羁押中获得保释。
卡斯特罗的律师丹尼尔·格茨告诉路透社，根据与明尼苏达州执法部门达成的协议，卡斯特罗主动从得克萨斯州驱车前往明尼苏达州，计划在其律师办公室向州当局自首，但在即将抵达前几分钟被捕。
另一位代理该ICE特工的律师罗兰多·坎图表示，其当事人一直打算在明尼苏达州接受指控。他驳斥了亨内平县检察官关于卡斯特罗可能逃往墨西哥的说法，称“他希望在法庭上为自己辩护”。
案件源于“地铁突袭行动”
对卡斯特罗作出虚假陈述的联邦起诉书，是美国司法部首次起诉一名因明尼阿波利斯市大规模ICE部署行动“地铁突袭行动”涉嫌渎职的联邦执法官员。
该行动是特朗普更广泛的移民镇压措施的一部分，引发了数周的抗议以及ICE与示威者之间的冲突，最终导致两名美国公民被联邦特工枪击身亡。
卡斯特罗此前已在明尼苏达州面临州级袭击指控，事件源于他在公寓门内向委内瑞拉裔男子胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯腿部开枪的对峙事件，当时屋内还有儿童在场。
州级指控还包括谎报犯罪，因为卡斯特罗据称曾向美国国土安全部上级谎称索萨-塞利斯等人用雪铲和扫帚袭击他，但视频证据证明该说法不实。
最初逮捕卡斯特罗的努力因该ICE特工返回得克萨斯州家乡而受挫，明尼苏达州官员随后发布了逮捕令。
卡斯特罗曾被得克萨斯州游骑兵逮捕，但支持特朗普大规模驱逐扫荡行动的共和党籍得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培拒绝签署明尼苏达州民主党籍州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹提交的引渡文件。
雅培质疑卡斯特罗是否可被视为逃犯从而符合引渡条件，因为国土安全部在明尼阿波利斯枪击事件后已将他重新调回得克萨斯州家乡。
这名ICE特工最终在得克萨斯州县监狱被关押了90天，并于8月27日获释，此前得克萨斯州的一名联邦法官驳回了明尼苏达州立即下令引渡的请求。9月初，卡斯特罗因联邦大陪审团的起诉书在得克萨斯州再次被捕。
国土安全部已将卡斯特罗从ICE停职，一位了解此案的人士表示，针对索萨-塞利斯枪击事件的民权调查已经启动。
卡斯特罗预计将于周四在明尼阿波利斯首次出席州法院庭审。随后，他将于周五上午在州首府邻近的圣保罗美国联邦地区法院首次出庭，接受联邦起诉书指控。
“雅培州长试图为卡斯特罗先生逃避责任的企图已经失败。我们期待着启动公诉程序，”提起该州级案件的亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂在一份声明中说道。

Summary
Christian Castro drives to Minnesota from Texas to face arrest
Detention in Minneapolis comes eight months after shooting
First court appearance on state charges set for Thursday
Sept 16 (Reuters) – A federal immigration officer wanted on assault charges for shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis was arrested there on Wednesday, eight months after a confrontation that became a flashpoint over US President Donald Trump’s deportation sweeps.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Christian Castro was taken into custody by agents of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in downtown Minneapolis and was booked into the Hennepin County jail on his outstanding arrest warrant, the agency said.

Castro had been released on bond from federal custody earlier this month, after an initial appearance in US District Court in McAllen, Texas, on charges of lying to investigators about the circumstances of the January 14 shooting.
Under an agreement with Minnesota law enforcement, Castro voluntarily drove to Minneapolis from Texas to turn himself in to state authorities at his attorney’s office but ended up being arrested minutes before he was due to arrive, the lawyer, Daniel Gerdts told Reuters.
Another lawyer representing the ICE agent, Rolando Cantu, said his client always had intended to answer to the charges in Minneapolis. He disputed Hennepin County prosecutors’ assertions that Castro might flee to Mexico, saying, “He wants his day in court.”
CASE STEMS FROM OPERATION METRO SURGE
The federal indictment charging Castro with making false statements marked the first US Justice Department prosecution of a federal law enforcement officer accused of wrongdoing arising from the massive Minneapolis ICE deployment dubbed Operation Metro Surge.
That operation, part of Trump’s wider immigration crackdown, drew weeks of protests and clashes between ICE and demonstrators, leading to the fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal agents.
Castro already faced state assault charges in Minnesota stemming from the confrontation in which he shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national, in the leg through the door of the man’s apartment while children were present inside the home.
The state charges also include false reporting of a crime after Castro allegedly told superiors at the US Department of Homeland Security that Sosa-Celis and others attacked him with a snow shovel and broom, which was disproved by video evidence.
Initial efforts to arrest Castro were thwarted when the ICE agent returned to his home state of Texas, leading Minnesota officials to issue a warrant for his arrest.
Castro was apprehended by Texas Rangers, but Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican and supporter of Trump’s mass deportation sweeps, refused to sign extradition papers sent by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat.
Abbott questioned whether Castro could be considered a fugitive from justice, and thus subject to extradition, because DHS had reassigned him to his home state of Texas after the Minneapolis shooting.
The ICE agent ultimately spent 90 days in a Texas county jail and was released on August 27 after a federal judge in Texas denied a request from Minnesota to immediately order his extradition. Castro was re-arrested in Texas following his federal grand jury indictment in early September.
DHS has suspended Castro from ICE, and a person familiar with the case has said a civil rights investigation into the Sosa-Celis shooting had been opened.
Castro was expected to make his first state court appearance in Minneapolis on Thursday. He will then make an initial appearance in US District Court in neighboring St. Paul, the state capital, on Friday morning to face charges in the federal indictment.
“Governor Abbott’s attempt to shield Mr. Castro from accountability has failed. We look forward to commencing our prosecution,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who brought the state case, said in a statement.
