AG Ellison praised the charges that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty filed today, along with the Attorney General’s Office, against ICE agent Christian Castro in the January 14, 2026 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis in North Minneapolis. Castro is charged with four felony counts of 2nd-degree assault and one misdemeanor count of falsely reporting a crime. 

“Nobody is above the law, including ICE agents. The State of Minnesota must hold people accountable for violating the law and for harming Minnesotans. I support the filing of these charges, and I am working closely with Hennepin County Attorney Moriarty to ensure we reach a just outcome here." -AG Ellison
