A federal immigration officer wanted in the shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s Minnesota crackdown was arrested Friday in Texas, authorities said.
Christian Castro, of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, was taken into custody 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him with assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.
Hennepin County, Minnesota prosecutors said the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension located Castro, 52, in Texas, and the Texas Rangers said they assisted in the arrest in Cameron County, which borders Mexico in the southernmost part of the state.
Was he attempting to flee illegally into Mexico? Oh, the irony.
There’s an unusually high number of Hispanic ice agents.
Not that unusual if you know a lot of hispanic people in the US. There’s a lot of pulling up the ladder and pick-me-ism. People who “did it the right way” and succeeded purely on their own merit (not like those illegals). These people vote republican, may consider themselves white and even be white nationalists - like the proud boys leader who was hispanic (edit: enrique tarrio, forgot his name. Man is an afro-cuban white nationalist smh).
Plenty of hispanic ppl who aren’t like that, obviously. But it’s common.
Tarrio will always be hilarious to me, in a literal sense of the word.
and black ones, apparently its done on purpose the P47, BECAUSE THEY can redirect the anger towards ice agents to black, hispanics instead of white agents that are doing more heinious shit behind the scenes.
to the commentor below, you gave an odd response as if you are part of ice, by saying we are not part of “ice forces”. read the second part of my comment, its pretty much the MO of DHS under noem that she uses POCs as a distraction to dilute the anger towards the more henious white ice agents, by using blacks and lations as a deflection.
Stop trying to lump us in with them. Black ICE agents average around 11.4%. Latino ICE agents average anywhere from 15.6% to 30%.
are you ICE? thats an odd response.
I get tired of ppl trying to lay Trump and his policies on the feet of black ppl. They tired to do so by claiming the black vote swayed the last election and now they’re trying to claim theres this flood of black ICE agents. Both of which are just not true in the slightest
Irony & Hypocrisy, the trademark of the GOP.
