ICE Agent Arrested for Shooting Venezuelan Man Through a Front Door — Then Lying About It

ICE agent Christian Castro, 52, was arrested in Texas for shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis through the front door of a Minneapolis home on January 14 during Operation Metro Surge. The bullet traveled through the door, hit Sosa-Celis in the leg, and lodged in a child's bedroom wall. Four adults and two children were inside. Castro and other agents then lied — claiming Sosa-Celis attacked them with a broom and shovel. Video proved that was false. DHS acknowledged agents "provided false information." The DOJ initially charged the victim, then dropped the charges. Castro faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. ICE called the arrest "a political stunt."
