Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Texas Governor Greg Abbott, seeking to compel the extradition of Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Castro is currently in Texas and faces criminal charges in Minnesota related to a nonfatal shooting that occurred in Minneapolis earlier this year.

The conflict arises from Governor Abbott’s refusal to honor Minnesota’s extradition request. While the legal action is now underway, the two outlets provide conflicting information regarding the specific charges filed against the agent. The Hill reports that Castro faces four counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon. Conversely, the Washington Examiner states that Castro was charged with falsely reporting a crime.

The incident occurred during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. Minnesota prosecutors are seeking to bring Castro back to the state to stand trial, while the Texas governor’s office has resisted the request, leading to this formal legal challenge. The lawsuit highlights a rare jurisdictional standoff between state officials over the movement of a federal law enforcement officer accused of wrongdoing while on duty.
