Key points Greg Abbott by the Minnesota attorney general. A lawsuit has been filed against Texas Gov.
A lawsuit has been filed against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott by the Minnesota attorney general. The goal of the lawsuit is to force Abbott to extradite an ICE agent, Christian Castro, to Minnesota to face trial. Castro is accused of shooting into a home during an ICE operation and striking someone in the leg. He was charged with second-degree assault and falsely reporting a crime, and was arrested in Texas.
Castro remains in custody in Texas. A request for his extradition was sent to Abbott in June, but it appears that has not been fulfilled. Further details on the case and the lawsuit are available. The lawsuit is an effort to bring Castro to Minnesota to stand trial on the charges against him.
