Mexicans Aren't Going Anywhere

June is Men's Mental Health Month. 🇲🇽🧠
To my Mexican brothers: strength is not measured by how much pain you can hide. Breaking generational silence, asking for help, and taking care of your mind is an act of courage. www.mexicansarentgoinganywhere.co

Before borders shifted and treaties were signed, Mexico stretched from the Pacific to the Gulf and deep into what is now the American Southwest.

History matters. Memory matters.

BREAKING: JUSTICE! An ICE agent who shot a man, lied about it, and fled the state has finally been arrested.

Christian Castro is in custody at last.

It took Minnesota prosecutors, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Texas Rangers, and the DHS Inspector General to make it happen — because ICE, the agency Castro worked for, spent months defending him and attacking the people trying to hold him accountable.

Here's what the evidence shows.

On January 14th, Castro was chasing Alfredo Aljorna through Minneapolis when Aljorna ran into his home. Castro fired a bullet through the front door of an occupied residence, wounding Aljorna's roommate, Julio Sosa-Celis, in the leg. That night, Castro told investigators he had fired in self-defense after being beaten for several minutes with a shovel and a broom by three men.

Based entirely on Castro's account, federal prosecutors charged Sosa-Celis and Aljorna with assaulting a law enforcement officer.

Then the surveillance footage emerged. A Minneapolis police camera captured the entire encounter. It lasted approximately 12 seconds. There was no prolonged beating. Castro's story fell apart, the charges against the two Venezuelan men were dropped, and prosecutors concluded Castro had not only shot an innocent man but filed a false police report to cover it up.

ICE's response when Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty charged Castro this month? The agency called the charges "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt."

A political stunt. That's what ICE called holding their agent accountable for shooting a man and lying about it under oath.

Castro was placed on leave and apparently decided that escaping to Texas was preferable to facing justice in Minnesota. He was tracked down by state investigators and arrested Friday morning with the Texas Rangers and DHS's own inspector general present for the takedown.

Castro is the second ICE agent charged by Moriarty's office for conduct during Operation Metro Surge. The other, Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., was charged with assault for pointing a gun at motorists on a highway. He also has an active arrest warrant.

Moriarty called Friday's arrest "a critical step forward." It is also a demonstration that accountability for federal agents is possible — even when their own agency fights it every step of the way.
