Minnesota's suit to extradite Christian Castro
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott on August 18, 2026, seeking a rendition warrant to transfer ICE agent Christian Castro from Cameron County Jail to Hennepin County to face four assault counts. The report does not say whether the court has acted, so the warrant request and transfer remain unresolved as of August 19, 2026.
