  "account": "Minneapolis authorities arrested Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Christian Castro on Wednesday evening in connection with an outstanding warrant. Castro faces charges of assault and false reporting of a crime. The arrest occurred in downtown Minneapolis. Castro is also set to appear in a federal court on separate charges, including making false statements to investigators about an incident in January. According to prosecutors, Castro shot and wounded Venezuelan man Julio Ceasar Sosa-Celis during a federal immigration operation known as Operation Metro Surge. He claimed he had been attacked with a broom and shovel, but the victim's family alleges Castro shot the man in the leg while firing through a front door. Minnesota authorities have been at odds with the Trump administration over jurisdiction for Castro's prosecution. The Department of Homeland Security claimed Minnesota's actions were a \"political stunt,\" maintaining that only federal authorities could handle the case. Castro is set to appear in a state court on Thursday and in a federal court on Friday.",
  "summary": "MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal immigration officer charged with shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man in January and lying about the circumstances to investigators was to appear Thursday before a Minnesota judge after state authorities arrested him ahead of a separate hearing in federal court.",
