Federal judge declines to force Texas extradition of ICE agent charged in Minneapolis shooting

US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr denied Minnesota's bid to compel Texas Governor Greg Abbott to sign an extradition warrant for ICE agent Christian Castro, charged with assault after shooting a man during a Minneapolis immigration raid. Rodriguez ruled Abbott's silence—neither approving nor denying the warrant—gave the court no refusal to review. Texas's 90-day holding limit now requires Castro's transfer or release. Minnesota warned he may flee to Mexico.
