🚨 ICE AGENT CHARGED AFTER SHOOTING IMMIGRANT
Prosecutors say an ICE agent shot an immigrant — then tried to cover it up.
NO OTHER OUTLET has covered Trump’s fascism more ON THE GROUND—including covering ICE terror in LA, NYC, FL, D.C., Chicago, Charlotte, and Minneapolis—than Status Coup. This reporting is expensive and we’re INDEPENDENTLY funded.
On Jan. 14, 2026, an ICE agent shot Venezuelan immigrant Julio C. Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis.
Then prosecutors say he lied — claiming Sosa-Celis attacked him with a shovel.
Now ICE agent Christian J. Castro is facing four felony assault charges and a false reporting charge.
Status Coup was ON THE GROUND the day it happened, capturing the chaos that unfolded after the shooting — chaos that left our own team caught in the middle.
Reporter JT Cestkowski breaks down the charges, the alleged lie, and what Status Coup witnessed.
Thank you Status Coup for keeping us informed!!
Hopefully soon you can report even more of them being charged!
