ICE Agent Arrested After Apartment Shooting | UK News

An ICE agent turned fugitive, Christian Castro, surrendered in Minneapolis after being charged with assault and making false reports — stemming from a March incident where he allegedly shot a Venezuelan man through his apartment door, with children reportedly inside. The case exploded during a major ICE operation, fueled by conflicting claims: Castro said he was attacked with a snow shovel and broom, but video evidence contradicted him. He also faces federal charges for lying to superiors about the event — the first time an ICE officer has been prosecuted for misconduct tied to that deployment. After Texas initially blocked his extradition, Castro eventually turned himself in at his lawyer’s office, now jailed in Hennepin County and set for court Thursday. Authorities are moving forward with prosecution, signaling no leniency despite political noise.
