Governor Abbott is fiercely resisting Minnesota’s push to extradite immigration officer Christian Castro, casting doubt on whether Castro is even a fugitive—and claiming he may have been reassigned to Texas by ICE, not fleeing. The standoff escalated when Minnesota had to sue Texas for cooperation, with Abbott openly doubting Minnesota’s governor. Castro faces serious charges after allegedly firing into a Minneapolis home in January and making false statements; he was arrested in Texas in May under a Minnesota warrant. With Texas law limiting pre-warrant detention to 90 days—ending soon—Abbott’s team argues the deadline doesn’t apply to extradition decisions and is awaiting an interim report before making a final call.
