“Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott to compel the extradition of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent arrested on charges connected to Operation Metro Surge. Christian Castro faces four counts of assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in Minnesota …. Castro was arrested in Harlingen, Texas, in May and booked into the Cameron County Jail. Ellison said Gov. Tim Walz asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in early June to extradite Castro to Minnesota, but he has yet to be extradited. According to Ellison, Walz’s request triggered a mandatory obligation for Gov. Abbott to issue a governor’s rendition warrant to Cameron County Sheriff Manuel Trevino, initiating the transfer of Castro back to Minnesota to face justice.” (08/18/26)
