Oficial de ICE liberado bajo fianza tras declararse no culpable por declaraciones falsas

Un juez federal en Texas ordenó la liberación del oficial de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas Christian Castro bajo una fianza de 75 000 dólares después de que él se declarara no culpable de seis cargos por proporcionar declaraciones falsas al FBI sobre un tiroteo en enero de 2023 contra un inmigrante venezolano en Minneapolis, el 4 de septiembre. La acusación que dio origen al caso se emitió el 25 de agosto, imputándole cargos de asalto y falsedad de informes en Minnesota.

Anteriormente, autoridades de Minnesota habían solicitado su extradición desde Texas, pero jueces de ambos distritos rechazaron la petición, permitiendo que expirara el período de detención de 90 días. El Departamento de Justicia había evaluado cargos federales adicionales, y un fiscal federal involucrado en la investigación fue despedido.
