Former Immigration Agent Released From Texas Jail After Time Runs Out

Christian Castro, a former immigration agent, left a Texas jail on August 27, 2026, after a 90-day holding limit ran out and a federal judge declined to step in. Castro faces assault charges in Minnesota for shooting 24-year-old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis during a January 14 immigration raid in Minneapolis. Texas Governor Greg Abbott refused to sign the transfer order. Minnesota's lawsuit against Abbott remains pending.
