Abbott asks court to reject Minnesota bid to force extradition of ICE officer

Texas Governor Greg Abbott informed a judge that Minnesota's lawsuit to extradite ICE agent Christian Castro is doomed to fail. Castro is accused by Minnesota authorities of shooting a Venezuelan man during Operation Metro Surge. Abbott asserted he is not obligated to hand over the agent, questioning if Castro is a fugitive subject to extradition. Texas continues its own investigation into the matter, while a court hearing regarding the agent's custody is scheduled for Tuesday.
