MINNEAPOLIS — A federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer has been arrested in Texas in connection with a shooting that occurred during a federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis, according to authorities. The officer, identified by prosecutors as Christian Castro, faces charges related to the nonfatal shooting of a man during an enforcement action earlier this year. Investigators allege the shooting occurred while officers were attempting to locate another individual. Authorities have also accused the officer of filing a false report following the incident. The arrest marks the latest development in an ongoing investigation that has drawn significant public attention in Minnesota. Prosecutors say surveillance footage and evidence collected during the investigation contributed to the charges. Federal officials have criticized the prosecution, while local authorities maintain that the evidence supports the case moving forward through the court system. The investigation remains active, and additional legal proceedings are expected in the coming weeks. This is a developing story.
