His claims of being attacked were contradicted by video and witness testimony. Initially arrested in Texas on an extradition warrant, Castro was released in August amid detention limits — sparking a feud with Governor Greg Abbott, who argued Castro wasn’t a fugitive since he was ordered to leave Minnesota. Minnesota officials called Abbott’s actions obstructive, and now the Hennepin County Attorney’s office is ready to prosecute. With a $200,000 bail and court appearance scheduled for Thursday, the case moves forward — spotlighting interstate legal tensions and the push for accountability.
