A federal immigration officer, who has been indicted for shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man in January and for making false statements to investigators about the circumstances, made a brief initial appearance before a judge in Minnesota on Thursday.
一名联邦移民官员因于一月间枪击致伤一名委内瑞拉籍男子,并就相关情节向调查人员作虚假陈述而遭起诉;周四,他在明尼苏达州一名法官面前短暂完成了首次出庭。
This came after state authorities had arrested him on the eve of another hearing in federal court.
此前,州当局已在联邦法院另一次听证会召开前夕将其逮捕。
At Thursday's hearing, Judge Paul Scoggin granted bail to Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer; Castro, dressed in an orange prison uniform, appeared behind a glass partition.
在周四的听证会上,法官保罗·斯科金批准了移民和海关执法局官员克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗的保释;卡斯特罗身着一袭橙色囚服,出现在玻璃隔间之后。
Castro had previously been held without bail — he had been arrested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on Wednesday in downtown Minneapolis, where state authorities charged him in connection with an assault and a false police report tied to the shooting of Julio César Sosa-Celis.
卡斯特罗此前系在无保释金条件下被羁押——此前,明尼苏达州刑事侦查局于周三在明尼阿波利斯市中心将其逮捕,州方指控所涉事项关乎胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯枪击案的袭击及虚假报案。
Scoggin set bail at $400,000 without conditions, or $200,000 with conditions.
斯科金裁定无条件保释金为40万美元,有条件保释金为20万美元。
Castro also faces federal charges stemming from the shooting, which occurred during a federal immigration enforcement crackdown in the Minneapolis area.
卡斯特罗亦因这起枪击事件而面临联邦指控,该事件发生于明尼阿波利斯地区联邦移民执法打击行动期间。
According to prosecutors, Castro falsely told investigators that he had been assaulted with a broom and a shovel.
据检察官称,卡斯特罗曾向调查人员谎称自己遭到扫帚和铁锹袭击。
Even before Minnesota authorities arrested Castro and brought him before a state court for arraignment, Minnesota prosecutors and the governor of Texas had already been at loggerheads over the state's attempt to extradite Castro from his home state so that he would face state-level charges.
在明尼苏达州当局逮捕卡斯特罗并将其提审至州法院之前,明尼苏达州检察官与得克萨斯州州长之间就已围绕该州试图将卡斯特罗从其原籍州引渡以使其面对州级指控一事龃龉不断。
One of the conditions Scoggin attached to setting a relatively low bail was that, should Castro be released, he must not contest the extradition.
斯科金设定较低保释金的条件之一便是:倘若卡斯特罗获释,他不得对引渡提出异议。
Castro's next court hearing is scheduled for Friday, to be held at the federal courthouse in St. Paul, and concerns a separate federal case — one that accuses him of making false statements to investigators regarding the same shooting incident.
卡斯特罗的下一场法庭听证会定于周五举行,该听证会将于圣保罗联邦法院开庭,所涉乃另一起联邦案件——该案指控其就同一枪击事件向调查人员作出虚假陈述。
Castro's defense attorney in the federal case has stated that he intends to enter a plea of not guilty.
卡斯特罗在该联邦案件中的辩护律师表示,他打算作无罪答辩。
This marks the Justice Department's first prosecution of federal officials for their conduct during this year's sprawling "Operation Metro Surge" — an initiative that deployed thousands of agents to the Twin Cities, precipitating mass protests, arrests, and the fatal shooting of two American citizens by federal officers.
这是司法部首次针对联邦官员在今年声势浩大的“地铁浪潮行动”期间的行为提起公诉——该行动将数千名特工部署至双城,随之引发了大规模抗议、逮捕,以及联邦官员对两名美国公民的致命枪击。
In federal and state proceedings against Castro, prosecutors allege that he fired a shot through the front door of a Minneapolis residence, striking the 24-year-old Sosa-Celis in the leg.
在针对卡斯特罗的联邦及州级诉讼程序中,检察官指控其经由明尼阿波利斯一户民宅的前门开枪,致使24岁的索萨-塞利斯腿部中弹。
Prosecutors further contend that Castro subsequently fabricated a claim that he had been assaulted with a broom handle and a snow shovel prior to opening fire.
检方进一步称,卡斯特罗事后谎称自己在开枪前曾遭受扫帚柄与雪铲的袭击。
Minnesota authorities and the administration of President Donald Trump are locked in a dispute over which jurisdiction should preside over any charges against Castro.
明尼苏达州当局与唐纳德·特朗普总统领导的政府就卡斯特罗所涉任何指控的管辖权归属问题争执不下。
The Department of Homeland Security has dismissed Minnesota's prosecution of Castro as "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt," asserting that only federal authorities have jurisdiction.
国土安全部将明尼苏达州对卡斯特罗的起诉斥为“非法,不过是政治噱头”,并声称唯有联邦当局方享有管辖权。
Minnesota had already filed charges against Castro several months before he was federally indicted.
明尼苏达州早在卡斯特罗遭联邦起诉数月之前便已对其提起指控。
He was arrested in Texas in May on the Minnesota charges.
他于五月在得克萨斯州因明尼苏达州的指控而被捕。
Last month, however, Texas Governor Greg Abbott declined to sign an extradition warrant to hand him over to Minnesota authorities.
然而,得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特上月拒绝签署引渡令,将其移交明尼苏达州当局。
He was consequently released in Texas and promptly indicted on federal charges.
他遂在得克萨斯州获释,旋即遭联邦起诉。
Thereafter, he surrendered to federal authorities and made his own way back to Minnesota.
此后,他向联邦当局投案自首,并自行返回明尼苏达州。
