一句话看懂
Minnesota sued Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over a nearly three-month delay in extraditing ICE agent Christian Castro. The delay could soon make Castro eligible for release from jail.
背景
Christian Castro, a federal ICE agent, is accused of shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in north Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge in January and later lying about it. He was charged in Hennepin County in May with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. Minnesota argues that extradition between the two states is routine, with 11 extraditions from Texas in the last five years averaging 30 days, making the delay unusual.
