What happened, for context

Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, was released from a Texas jail on August 27, 2026, after a federal judge refused to order his return to Minnesota to face charges related to a January 14 shooting. Castro is charged with assault and falsely reporting a crime in the shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Texas Governor Greg Abbott did not sign the extradition warrant, and a Texas law prevented the jail from holding Castro beyond 90 days without extradition.
