ヘネピン郡のメアリー・モリアーティ検察官は月曜、1月にベネズエラからの移民を銃撃し、事件について虚偽の供述をしたとして、米移民税関捜査局（ICE）のクリスチャン・カストロ職員を起訴したと発表した。
カストロ被告は第2級暴行の罪で4件、および犯罪の虚偽報告の罪で1件の起訴を受けた。検察当局によると、同被告はミネアポリスの住宅の玄関ドアに向けて公用の武器を発砲し、移民のホセ・ソーサ・セリス氏の脚に命中させた。銃弾はその後クローゼットを貫通し、子供部屋の壁に埋まったという。モリアーティ検察官は、カストロ被告が「発砲時、あるいはその前段階においても、何らかの身体的脅威にさらされていた事実はなかった」と述べた。さらに同検察官は、「被告がスコップやほうきで叩かれた事実もなく、実際には何一つとして攻撃を受けていなかった」と付け加えた。
X上での初期の反応では、被害者が後ずさりする様子を捉えた映像証拠と食い違う、ICE職員による銃撃に関する虚偽の供述が指摘されている。また、当該移民が合法的に滞在していた事実や、連邦捜査官であっても州法に基づく刑事訴追から免責されるわけではない点について議論がなされている。

Federal prosecutors say Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, 36, was arrested and charged after an April 7 Immigration and Customs Enforcement stop in Patterson, California, during which authorities allege he struck an agent with his car. Mendoza Hernandez was shot multiple times during the encounter and later appeared in federal court in Sacramento on the assault charge, according to court filings and reporting by the Associated Press and other outlets.
Hennepin County prosecutors charged federal ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. with two counts of second-degree assault for allegedly pointing a handgun at two residents during a rush-hour traffic incident on February 5. County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced the charges Thursday, describing them as potentially the first nationwide against a federal immigration agent amid ICE's Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
