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.

"According to prosecutors, Castro fired through a home's front door and shot [Julio] Sosa-Celis in the thigh after Castro and another officer chased a different man, Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna, to the Minneapolis apartment duplex where he and Sosa-Celis lived. Sosa-Celis and Aljorna were legally residing in the US, Moriarty said.

"Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and Aljorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel. A federal judge later dismissed the charges, and ICE and the justice department opened an investigation into whether officers lied about what happened."

I don't usually support the Death Penalty.
But when I do, it's for Public Officials who commit Murder or Treason.
