A federal immigration officer wanted for shooting a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration's Minnesota crackdown was arrested Friday in Texas, authorities said. Christian Castro, of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, was taken into custody 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. Hennepin County, Minnesota prosecutors said the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension located Castro, 52, in Texas and worked with agents from the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General's Office and the Texas Rangers to arrest him. "Today's arrest is a critical step forward in our prosecution of Mr. Castro," Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said.
