A federal immigration officer who faces state and federal charges in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis is now out of custody. Christian Castro was released from jail Thursday after he appeared in a Minneapolis courtroom on state assault charges. He is due to appear in federal court on Friday for allegedly lying to investigators. Castro's court proceedings in Minnesota follow months of legal and political battles over whether he would be extradited from his home state of Texas.

A federal immigration officer charged with shooting a Venezuelan man during the immigration crackdown that roiled Minneapolis early this year has made a brief first appearance before a Minnesota judge. Thursday's hearing followed months of legal and political battles over whether Christian Castro would be extradited from his home state of Texas. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer faces a separate hearing Friday in federal court for charges that he lied to investigators about the shooting. During Thursday's hearing, he stood quietly in a glass enclosure in a Minneapolis jail courtroom. He was handcuffed and dressed in an orange jumpsuit. Judge Paul Scoggin set bail at $400,000, or $200,000 if Castro agreed to a series of conditions.

A federal judge in Miami has ruled that social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate must remain in custody as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom. That’s where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. They have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. A judge on Wednesday denied a defense motion for release, meaning the Tates will remain jailed during what could be a monthslong extradition process. The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire.
