ICE agent charged with assault over shooting of immigrant

Minnesota officials have charged a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, Christian Castro, with assault. The charges stem from the January shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant, during an immigration crackdown. Castro faces multiple felony counts and a misdemeanor charge for allegedly falsely reporting the incident. ICE has called the charges unlawful and a political stunt, though federal prosecutors are investigating potential false statements made by agents involved. AI
