A Minnesota county prosecutor has charged an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a news conference Monday that the officer, Christian Castro, is charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and another immigrant of beating a federal officer. But a federal judge dismissed those charges and federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into whether two immigration officers lied under oath about what had happened.
