An ICE agent is facing several assault charges in connection with a January shooting involving two Venezuelan immigrants in Minnesota, according to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

The federal agent, Christian Castro, has been charged with four counts of second degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime, Moriarty said at a news conference Monday. A nationwide warrant for his arrest has been issued.

CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment and is working to determine whether Castro has an attorney.

“Mr. Castro is an ICE agent but his federal badge does not make him immune from state charges for his criminal conduct in Minnesota,” Moriarty told reporters. “I’ve said it many times, and I’ll say it again: There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal officers who commit crimes in this state or any other.”


When do they charge the ones who murdered Good and Pritti?
