An ICE agent charged in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan migrant was arrested in Texas on Friday morning.
Earlier this month, Soros-funded prosecutor Mary Moriarty charged an ICE agent with the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan migrant she claimed was legally in the United States.
Moriarty charged the agent, identified as Christian Castro, with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
In January, ICE agents were involved in a shooting in Minneapolis as Governor Walz claimed federal agents are “going door-to-door ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live.”
According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, ICE agents shot a shovel-wielding Venezuelan after he tried to assault federal law enforcement officers.
A Venezuelan teen was shot in the leg.

Fox 9 reported:
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who was charged in a north Minneapolis shooting has been arrested in Texas Friday morning.
Christian Castro, 52, was charged via warrant on May 18 with four counts of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of falsely reporting a crime in connection with the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis.
Castro was arrested on Friday by the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General, Texas Rangers and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) agents in Hidalgo County, Texas, according to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO).
HCAO says that the state charges are “likely to result in an attempt to ‘remove’ this case to federal court.” If this “removal” is granted by the judge, HCAO will still prosecute the case, and if it ends in conviction, it will not be eligible for a presidential pardon.
