An #ICE officer charged with #shooting a man & #lying about it during the #immigration crackdown in #Minneapolis was released from a #Texas jail Thursday, after a judge refused to order his return to #Minnesota.

Christian Castro was released at dawn from a detention center in Brownsville. He motioned his hand toward a few camera operators & a reporter crowding around him & quickly got into an SUV that drove off.

… “The concern here is that #ICE is going above & beyond to guarantee law enforcement does not have even the slightest risk of #liability for violating Americans’ rights while helping ICE arrest people,” said David Bier, director of #immigration studies at the Cato Institute, who has called on #Congress to make it easier to sue ICE agents for wrongdoing.

After Molina, 36, posted video of the encounter Monday, it racked up tens of thousands of views & reignited scrutiny over the aggressiveness of the #Trump admin’s crackdown on “illegal” #immigration. The #gun in the agent’s hand can be seen raised & held at the center of Molina’s open driver’s side window.

@Nonilex So, in addition to carrying LRAD-sound and microwave reflecting signs, protesters and #ICE watchers need to start wearing electrical-insulator base layers under surface layers with a continuous mesh of copper thread or another conductor sewn in. I'm going to assume these gloves will be cheaply built and lack overload protection and thermal circuit cutoffs.
