ICE agent Christian Castro faces criminal charges in Minnesota for shooting a Venezuelan man in the leg during an immigration raid in Minneapolis earlier this year. A federal judge denied Minnesota's request to force Texas to extradite Castro from Cameron County Jail, paving the way for his release. Minnesota officials expressed concern that Castro could flee to Mexico, citing jail phone calls in which he discussed marrying a woman there and buying a house. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has refused to comply with Minnesota's extradition request.
