ICE agent charged with lying about shooting Venezuelan man during crackdown

Christian Castro, who is not yet in custody, faces a six-count federal indictment relating to shooting on 14 January, according to the BBC's US media partner CBS.

In a statement to the BBC, Minnesota's top prosecutor Keith Ellison welcomed the federal charges against Castro.
