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

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is contesting Minnesota's attempt to extradite Christian Castro, an ICE officer accused of fleeing a domestic violence charge. Abbott's office argues that Castro may not be a fugitive and that the ongoing investigation in Texas should continue. This legal battle highlights the broader tensions between state and federal enforcement agencies, particularly concerning jurisdiction and cooperation on criminal cases. The hearing set for Tuesday will be pivotal in determining Castro's immediate future.
