Minnesota's attorney general sued the governor of Texas on Tuesday, seeking to compel the extradition of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with wounding a man and then lying to justify the shooting during the agency's crackdown in Minneapolis.

Attorney General Keith Ellison is asking a federal judge to bar the sheriff in Cameron County, Texas, from releasing ICE agent Christian Castro, and to order Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to sign his extradition warrant so that Minnesota officers can take custody.

Castro was arrested in Texas in May on Minnesota charges of assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 wounding of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. Castro, 52, is accused of firing a gun through the front door of a Minneapolis home, striking Sosa-Celis in the leg with a bullet that lodged in a child's bedroom wall. Prosecutors say Castro then falsely accused Sosa-Celis and another man of attacking an ICE officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel.

Minnesota attorney general sues Texas governor to compel extradition of ICE agent for trial KXAN Austin

Interesting case. I don't know whether the facts alleged in this article are true and haven't really looked into whether this agent is likely guilty of the MN charges, but there's also a significant federal preemption question. Should be interesting to watch.

Yeah it doesn't sounds real great for Christian Castro. Ellison wants to railroad him, no doubt, in a trial.

I agree with you that Ellison wants to railroad him. I find it interesting from a legal perspective (and I don't do any criminal law, so other attorneys can chime in here). My understanding is that a federal LEO acting within the course and scope of their duties have federal immunity, even as to alleged state crimes, if they are acting reasonably in the execution of those official duties. That's going to be the big question. Apparently federal prosecutors dropped the charges, so I'm curious on what basis they did so. If the shot was objectively reasonable given the circumstances, I'd think he likely has immunity.

Now the lying or false report is another thing. To the extent that's true I don't see how that could be reasonable execution of his duties, so I'd think he could be prosecuted for that.

The extradition is another question. Can Abbott legally deny extradition even if he believes and has been advised that Castro has immunity from the MN charges? I don't know that he has that discretion. It would be up to Castro's legal team to raise the immunity defense and remove to federal court.

Abbott's running maybe +2 right now? He'll play tough for a bit for some political points, then ship the cat off to MN with a few more non sequitur barbs ar Walz.

There are only 2 polls where Abbott is less than 4. One of them has the highest MOE of the bunch.

Could be he wants to distract from his own corrupt actions .
Audio of Ellison meeting with convicted fraudsters resurfaces as lawyer alleges Walz, AG share blame
quote from the article

• In the recording, now obtained by Fox News, the would-be fraudsters can be heard asking Ellison to help them secure more funding, before the conversation then turns to campaign donations.
  "The only way that we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena. Putting our votes where it needs to be. But most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place. And supporting candidates that will fight to protect our interests," one of the Somalian community members says in the recording.
• "That's right," Ellison responds.

Keith Ellison is pure unadulterated pond scum and should be in jail.

USAID is dead. Won't be much violence like years past. Notice how quiet this summer was? That's traditionally been riot season. Funny how that's changed once the dirty money dried up.

State polls don't really exist, even for governors, even in big states. Even the aggregators have to go back several weeks. What's the real number? Maybe +4. Who knows. I've lived in Kingwood 28 years, and I don't see many, if any, Abbott signs. Nobody actually likes him. I had no idea who Gina was...still don't. But I do see a lot of signs. I think Abbott's people are realizing they can't take it for granted. He's actually running ads. Admit it, none of you actually like him.

Wedgewood: Abbott +6
Abbott leads Hinojosa 50 percent to 44 percent, with 6 percent of voters undecided, in an online panel survey of 800 likely voters conducted by Wedgewood Polls from July 30 to July 31.
Abbott has a solid 18-point lead among men and a 15-point lead among respondents aged 45 to 64.
Contrary to the findings of other pollsters, including the Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research Center and Texas Public Opinion Research, Abbott also has a 13-point lead among respondents without a college degree in the Wedgewood survey.
Hinojosa's strongest demographic advantages include a 29-point lead among respondents aged 18 to 29, a 13-point lead among Hispanics, and a 75-point lead among black respondents.
White respondents prefer Abbott 61 to 34.
Among 2024 voters, 90 percent of respondents who voted for Trump support Abbott, and 89 percent of Harris voters support Hinojosa.

You can't seriously think that he is only 2 to 4 points ahead in this race.

Your story about signs in
Kingwood is fascinating though!

You don't see many Republican signs because the crazy left will target your property. That's the only reason people don't put them up.

In many cases you are correct. We put a President Trump sign out the last election and I was worried about vandalism. We live in a blue district, there are plenty of Talarico signs in our community.

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2:
A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

Not really true. The state department took over the responsibilities of doling out billions to NGOs. Nothing has really changed.

I have two words for Keith Ellison, and only one can I type here: **** you.

Irony is, once USAID was killed, the DNC is magically broke months before the GA.

Then what is this extradition grandstanding, exactly?

**** Taqiyya Keith Ellison.

Judge orders Gov. Greg Abbott to respond to a lawsuit that seeks to force his state to sign documents that would facilitate the extradition of an ICE agent to Minnesota.

A hearing has also been set for 8/25.
