การเมือง · Gov. Abbott blocks extraditionMinnesota Sues Texas to Force ICE Agent Extraditionเขียน 7 กันยายน 2569 เวลา 21:22 UTCรับชมบทถอดเสียง0:00Minnesota is suing Texas to force a0:02single signature that would move an ICE0:03agent across state lines to stand trial.0:06On or about August 18th, 2026, the0:09Minnesota Attorney General sued Texas0:10Governor Greg Abbott to compel a0:12governor's rendition warrant for0:13Christian Castro, identified as an ICE0:15agent, to be extradited to Hennepin0:17County, Minnesota, after what Minnesota0:19describes as nearly 3 months of delay.0:21The lawsuit says that formal requests0:23from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz [music]0:26triggered a mandatory duty to issue the0:28warrant, and that the document would0:29direct Cameron County [music] Sheriff0:31Manuel Trevino to transfer Castro to0:33Minnesota custody. Minnesota alleges0:36Abbott has withheld that signature for0:37nearly 3 months. The underlying case0:40stems from January 14th, when0:42authorities say Sosa Salis was shot0:44through the front door of an occupied0:45home, with a bullet lodging in a child's0:47bedroom wall. Federal authorities0:49initially described the incident as an0:50attack on officers with a broom or0:52shovel, a version contradicted by video,0:54and the civilian charges were dropped.0:56On May 18th, Hennepin County Attorney0:59Mary Moriarty filed four counts of1:01second-degree assault with a dangerous1:02weapon and one count of falsely1:04reporting a crime, and a judge found1:06probable cause for a nationwide warrant.1:08Castro had left Minnesota and was1:10arrested May 29th and has been held at1:12the Cameron County Jail on a $200,0001:14bond. Moriarty's office says it is1:17prepared to prosecute once Castro is in1:19Minnesota custody, that he would be1:21presumed innocent and able to present1:23defenses, and that Abbott's signature is1:26the only barrier to trial in Hennepin1:28County. Abbott has offered no legal1:30defense on the documents and has said he1:32does not trust Walz and would not1:34respond to Minnesota's demands until1:36officials acknowledge fault and fraud1:38involving federal programs. Minnesota1:40argues the law leaves no room for1:41negotiation. The Constitution's1:43extradition clause, the federal statute,1:45[music] and the Uniform Criminal1:46Extradition Act make the duty1:48non-discretionary, and the Supreme1:50Court's 1987 decision in Puerto Rico v.1:52Branstad held that the command is1:54enforceable by a federal court order.1:56The asylum state does not decide guilt1:58or weigh the charges. The suit was filed2:00in the Southern [music] District of2:01Texas in Brownsville, asking a federal2:04judge to declare the duty mandatory, to2:06order Abbott to issue the warrant, and2:08to block [music] Castro's release while2:09the case is decided. No hearing or2:11ruling on the request for a temporary2:12[music] restraining order and mandamus2:14had been reported the day after filing.2:16Time is tightening around the case.2:19Texas law limits fugitive detention to2:2190 days, a clock that could run out as2:23early as August 26th, less than a week2:25after the suit was filed. Jail calls2:28referencing Mexico have raised flight2:30concerns with the jail sitting near the2:31Texas-Mexico border. The account of the2:34delay and the legal claims comes from a2:36single Associated Press video published2:38August 18th and the federal complaint it2:40references, not yet independently2:42corroborated beyond related filings2:44leaving unresolved whether a judge in2:45Brownsville will order the warrant2:46before detention expires and whether2:48Castro will ever be delivered to2:50Hennepin County to answer the charges.2:52Like and follow for more stories that2:54matter.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น ↗
