ICE Officer Christian Castro Indicted for Lying About Shooting Venezuelan Man Through a Closed Door in Minneapolis

On January 14, 2026, during Operation Metro Surge, ICE officer Christian Castro chased a DoorDash driver to his north Minneapolis duplex and fired a shot through the closed front door, hitting the driver's roommate, Venezuelan immigrant Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, in the leg. Federal prosecutors charged Sosa-Celis and the driver with assaulting Castro with a shovel and broom handle. Those charges were dropped after surveillance video contradicted the officers' account. In May 2026 Hennepin County charged Castro with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. On September 3, 2026, a federal grand jury indicted him on six counts of making false statements to the FBI, the first Justice Department prosecution of an officer for conduct during the Minneapolis surge. The federal case does not include a civil rights charge; a federal prosecutor who had reportedly told the victim's lawyers that DOJ officials blocked one was fired as the indictment became public.
