State law enforcement officers arrested a federal immigration agent in Texas on Friday, officials say, in connection with a nonfatal shooting in Minneapolis earlier this year.
The arrest was carried out by agents from the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General and the Texas Rangers.
The suspect, identified as Christian Castro, was located by the Minnesota Bureau before authorities moved in to take him into custody.
Castro is described by officials as a federal immigration agent who was involved in the nonfatal shooting that took place in Minneapolis.
The shooting occurred earlier this year, according to officials familiar with the matter, though the specific circumstances surrounding the incident have not been fully detailed.
The involvement of the DHS Office of the Inspector General signals that federal oversight authorities played a central role in building the case against Castro.
The Texas Rangers, a storied state law enforcement agency, joined federal investigators in executing the arrest after Castro was tracked to Texas.
The Minnesota Bureau was credited with locating Castro prior to the arrest, indicating a coordinated effort across multiple state and federal agencies.
The case marks a notable instance of a federal immigration agent facing criminal charges related to a shooting that did not result in a fatality.
Authorities have not publicly disclosed what specific charges Castro faces in connection with the Minneapolis shooting at this time.
