Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison Files Lawsuit for Extradition of ICE Officer Christian Castro

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is taking legal action to support the extradition of an ICE officer detained in Texas. Ellison will hold a news conference to announce a new lawsuit related to Operation Metro Surge. The lawsuit specifically addresses the extradition of 52-year-old Christian Castro, who faces charges in Hennepin County for assault and falsely reporting a crime. Despite efforts by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty to expedite Castro's extradition, he remains in custody in Cameron County, Texas. The shooting incident involving Castro in Minneapolis earlier this year led to injuries and unrest in the neighborhood. The legal proceedings aim to bring Castro back to Minnesota to face the charges against him.
