US immigration agent Christian Castro was arrested in Texas on May 29, nearly two weeks after being charged by Minnesota prosecutor Mary Moriarty with assaulting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis during a non-fatal shooting in Minneapolis on January 14. Castro faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime for shooting Sosa-Celis in the leg during "Operation Metro Surge," an aggressive deportation initiative. This incident occurred amid heightened controversy over federal agents' actions during the operation, which also involved the fatal shootings of two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by immigration agents on separate occasions in January. The Department of Homeland Security has disputed the state's account, labeling the charges against Castro a "political stunt."
