- 克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗因枪击胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯面临袭击和虚假报案指控

5月29日(路透社)——一名美国移民局特工周五在德克萨斯州被捕,距明尼苏达州检察官以其今年在明尼阿波利斯枪击一名委内瑞拉男子致其受伤为由对其提起诉讼已近两周。
克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗是美国移民及海关执法局特工,他面临四项二级袭击罪名和一项虚假报案罪名,起因是1月14日在明尼阿波利斯北部枪击胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯腿部。当时正值唐纳德·特朗普总统在明尼苏达州推行激进且遭到强烈抗议的驱逐行动高潮期。

明尼苏达州刑事调查局的调查人员在德克萨斯州找到了卡斯特罗,并前往当地执行抓捕,明尼阿波利斯首席州检察官亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂在一份声明中表示。德克萨斯州骑警和国土安全部监察长办公室(负责监督ICE)的特工将其逮捕。
今年已有两名联邦官员被起诉
索萨-塞利斯是在“地铁突袭行动”混乱的几周中遭遇枪击的,该行动派出数百名佩戴面具、全副武装的特工在明尼苏达州最大城市的街头巡逻,搜寻移民人员。同样在1月,移民特工在不同日期分别在明尼阿波利斯街头枪杀了两名美国公民:蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂。
在每一起案件中,特朗普和其他政府官员都为联邦特工辩护,并指责受害者引发暴力,这激怒了许多明尼苏达州民众。州检察官起诉联邦执法官员的情况并不常见,但卡斯特罗是今年莫里亚蒂的办公室起诉的第二名联邦官员。
她还就获取古德和普雷蒂被杀案的证据起诉特朗普政府,并表示正在考虑是否起诉枪杀他们的特工。
在索萨-塞利斯案中,国土安全部在承认涉案ICE特工撒谎后撤回了对该枪击事件的初始说法,司法部也撤销了对索萨-塞利斯的起诉。据国土安全部消息,当时未具名的两名ICE官员已被行政休假,可能因虚假陈述面临联邦起诉。
国土安全部发言人未回应置评请求,目前尚不清楚卡斯特罗是否有辩护律师。国土安全部一名发言人此前称对卡斯特罗的州级指控是“政治噱头”。国土安全部监察长办公室的一名发言人也未回应置评请求。

- Summary
- Christian Castro faces assault and false reporting charges for shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis
- Castro is second federal agent charged by Hennepin County attorney this year
- DHS retracted initial account, Justice Department dropped prosecution of Sosa-Celis
May 29 (Reuters) – A U.S. immigration agent was arrested in Texas on Friday, nearly two weeks after a Minnesota prosecutor charged him with assaulting a Venezuelan man in a non-fatal shooting in Minneapolis this year.
Christian Castro, an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime for shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg on January 14, at the height of President Donald Trump’s aggressive and hotly protested deportation surge in Minnesota.

Investigators from Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found Castro in Texas and traveled there, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, the chief state prosecutor in Minneapolis, said in a statement. He was arrested by Texas Rangers and agents from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general’s office, which oversees ICE.
TWO FEDERAL OFFICIALS CHARGED THIS YEAR
Sosa-Celis was shot during the chaotic weeks of Operation Metro Surge, which saw hundreds of masked, armed agents roaming the streets of Minnesota’s biggest cities looking for immigrants. Also in January, immigration agents shot dead two U.S. citizens on Minneapolis streets on different days: Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
In each instance, Trump and other administration officials defended the federal agents and blamed the victims for the violence, outraging many Minnesotans. It is unusual for state prosecutors to charge federal law enforcement officials, but Castro is the second federal official to be charged by Moriarty’s office this year.
She is also suing the Trump administration for access to evidence in the killings of Good and Pretti, and said she is weighing whether to prosecute the agents who killed them.
In the case of Sosa-Celis, DHS retracted its account of his shooting after saying the ICE agents involved had lied, and the Justice Department dropped its prosecution of Sosa-Celis. Two ICE officers, who were not named at the time, were put on administrative leave and may face federal prosecution for false statements, according to DHS.
A spokesperson for DHS did not respond to a request for comment about Castro’s arrest, and it was not immediately clear whether Castro had an attorney. A DHS spokesperson had previously called the state charges against Castro “a political stunt.” A spokesperson for the department’s inspector general did not respond to queries.
