ICE agent Christian Castro arrested in Texas for January shooting of Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.

Christian Castro, a 52-year-old ICE agent, was arrested in Texas on May 29, 2026, on state charges of second-degree assault and falsely reporting a crime stemming from the January 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis. Castro allegedly shot Sosa-Celis through the front door of a residence during Operation Metro Surge, a federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal authorities initially claimed the shooting was defensive, but video evidence contradicted agent accounts, leading to dropped charges against the victims and state prosecution of Castro.
