"On Monday, Moriarty announced charges against ICE's Christian Castro in the non-fatal Jan. 14 shooting of Minneapolis resident Julio Sosa-Celis, a man who had been fraudulently charged by the Department of Homeland Security with having attacked ICE agents, only to see those charges collapse after the release of video that effectively proved the attack never happened as described."
"Seriously, why the hell is no one talking about the lack of an arrest for ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., the man who pointed his gun at random motorists because he was annoyed they were momentarily blocking his way? This topic has been revived as of today thanks to the announcement of a different set of charges against another immigration agent of ICE by the same prosecutor's office."
"Perhaps that very outcome is still in the cards, and it will be the biggest story in the country when it happens ... but in the meantime, everyone has seemingly decided to collectively ignore the fact that the first ICE agent charged with a felony for their conduct in Minnesota has been a fugitive for a month now, and that both ICE and DHS have refused to even acknowledge that the charges exist."
"There are plenty of details to dive into in the case of Castro, who even ICE director Todd Lyons (who announced he's fleeing the agency in April) admitted was lying about the encounter."
An ICE agent in Minnesota who was charged with a felony has reportedly been a fugitive for about a month, while ICE and DHS have not acknowledged the charges. The lack of an arrest is presented as a major issue that has received little media attention. The topic gained renewed attention after Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced new charges against ICE agent Christian Castro for a non-fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Julio Sosa-Celis on Jan. 14. Sosa-Celis had previously faced fraudulently described DHS charges alleging an attack on ICE agents, but those charges collapsed after video evidence showed the attack did not occur as claimed. ICE leadership reportedly admitted Castro’s account was false.
