Judge to rule on Minnesota-Texas battle over ICE agent
A federal judge is expected to rule whether Texas must extradite ICE officer Christian Castro to Minnesota, where he faces assault and false reporting charges stemming from a January shooting. Minnesota is asking the court to keep Castro in custody and force Gov. Greg Abbott to extradite him, while Texas argues Abbott needs more time to investigate. Castro's 90-day pre-extradition detention period expires Thursday, potentially allowing Texas to release him.
