Headline USA - A Minnesota prosecutor announced Monday criminal charges against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in connection with the non-fatal January shooting of a Minneapolis man. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said ICE officer Christian Castro is being charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime stemming from the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who Moriarty said was “here lawfully.” A warrant has been issued for Castro’s arrest. Moriarty said the case reflects her office’s position that federal status does not shield officers from state prosecution.
