A Minnesota prosecutor is asking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to authorize the extradition of a federal officer who shot and injured an immigrant in Minneapolis in January.<\/p>\n

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said in a letter to Abbott that his sign-off is the \u201cfinal step\u201d in transferring Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Christian Castro to Minnesota to face state criminal charges.<\/p>\n

Castro, 52, is charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. Minnesota officials issued a warrant for his arrest<\/a> in May, and authorities in Texas arrested him on May 29. He has been held in a jail in Cameron County, Texas, since then.<\/p>

Minnesota prosecutors allege Castro, in pursuit of another man, fired into a residence and struck Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg. The Venezuelan immigrant was one of three people shot by federal agents in Minnesota in January as part of the Trump administration\u2019s stepped-up immigration enforcement operations. Moriarty also has charged another ICE officer with assaulting a motorist in an unrelated case.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Abbott declined to comment on the potential extradition of Castro.<\/p>\n
