A federal judge will hear arguments on extraditing an ICE agent to face charges. Christian Castro is accused of shooting a man and Minnesota is seeking his extradition. Castro was arrested on May 29 and is being held in Texas, but state law requires his release after 90 days if he is not extradited.

The extradition hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, one day before the deadline for Castro's detention expires. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has questioned whether Castro qualifies as a fugitive, citing his relocation to Texas for work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Further details on the case and the upcoming hearing are available from the source. The judge's decision will determine whether Castro will be transferred to Minnesota to face charges.
