At Thursday's hearing, Judge Paul Scoggin granted bail to Christian Castro, an officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Castro, dressed in an orange prison uniform, appeared behind a glass partition.
於週四之聽證會上,法官保羅·斯科金准予移民及海關執法局官員克里斯蒂安·卡斯特羅保釋;卡斯特羅身著橙色囚服,現身於玻璃圍欄之後。
Castro had previously been held without bail; the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension arrested him on Wednesday in downtown Minneapolis, where he faces state charges of assault and filing a false police report, both stemming from the shooting of Julio César Sosa-Celis.
卡斯特羅此前遭無保釋金羈押;明尼蘇達州刑事偵查局於週三在明尼阿波利斯市中心將其逮捕,州級指控包括襲擊及虛假報案,該等指控源於對胡利奧·塞薩爾·索薩-塞利斯之槍擊。
Scoggin set bail at $400,000 without conditions, or $200,000 with conditions.
斯科金裁定無條件保釋金40萬美元,有條件保釋金20萬美元。
Castro also faces federal charges connected to the shooting, which occurred during a federal immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis area.
卡斯特羅亦須面對與該起槍擊事件相關之聯邦控罪;該槍擊發生於明尼阿波利斯地區一場聯邦移民執法行動期間。
Prosecutors allege that Castro falsely told investigators he had been assaulted with a broom and a shovel.
檢方指稱,卡斯特羅曾向調查人員訛稱自己遭掃帚及鐵鍬襲擊。
Before Minnesota authorities apprehended Castro and brought him before a state court for arraignment, a dispute had already erupted between Minnesota prosecutors and the Governor of Texas over Minnesota's endeavor to extradite Castro from his home state to face state-level charges.
在明尼蘇達州當局逮捕卡斯特羅並使其於州法院出庭應訊之前,明尼蘇達州檢察官與德克薩斯州州長之間,業已就明尼蘇達州試圖將卡斯特羅自其家鄉州引渡以面對州級指控一事,爆發齟齬。
One of the conditions attached to the reduced bail that Scoggin set for Castro was that, should he be released, he must not contest extradition.
斯科金為卡斯特羅所設較低額保釋金之條件之一,即其若獲釋,不得對抗引渡。
Castro's next court hearing is scheduled for Friday, when it will take place at the federal courthouse in St. Paul, concerning a separate federal case in which he is accused of making false statements to investigators regarding the same shooting incident.
卡斯特羅的下一次法庭聽證會定於週五舉行,屆時將在聖保羅的聯邦法院進行,涉及另一起聯邦案件;在該案中,他被控就同一槍擊事件向調查人員作出虛假陳述。
Castro's defense attorney in the federal case stated that he intends to enter a plea of not guilty.
卡斯特羅在聯邦案件中的辯護律師表示,他計劃作無罪抗辯。
This marks the first time the Department of Justice has brought a lawsuit against a federal official for conduct committed during this year's large-scale "Operation Metro Surge."
這是司法部首度對一名聯邦官員提起訴訟,究其於今年大規模「都會突擊行動」期間所為。
That operation deployed thousands of agents into the Twin Cities, giving rise to widespread protests and a spate of arrests, while federal officials went so far as to open fatal fire on two American citizens.
該行動調遣數千名探員進駐雙城,遂致抗議四起、逮捕頻仍,聯邦官員更對兩名美國公民施以致命槍擊。
In both the federal and state cases against Castro, prosecutors allege that he fired through the front door of a Minneapolis home, striking the leg of Sosa-Selis, who was 24 years old at the time.
在針對卡斯特羅所涉之聯邦及州級案件中,檢察官均指稱,其係經由明尼阿波利斯一戶民宅之前門開槍,擊中時年24歲之索薩-塞利斯的腿部。
They further assert that Castro subsequently lied, claiming that he had been attacked with a broom handle and a snow shovel before he opened fire.
彼等復稱,卡斯特羅嗣後謊稱自己在開槍前曾遭掃帚柄與雪鍬襲擊。
Minnesota authorities had become embroiled in a dispute with President Donald Trump's administration over jurisdiction—that is, over who should be responsible for handling any charges against Castro.
明尼蘇達州當局曾與總統唐納德·川普的政府就管轄權歸屬——即何人應負責處理針對卡斯特羅的任何指控——陷入爭執。
The Department of Homeland Security called Minnesota's prosecution of Castro "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt," and stated that only federal authorities have jurisdiction.
國土安全部稱明尼蘇達州對卡斯特羅的起訴「非法,不過是一場政治噱頭」,並表示唯有聯邦當局擁有管轄權。
Months before the federal government indicted Castro, Minnesota had already brought charges against him.
明尼蘇達州早於聯邦起訴卡斯特羅數月,便已對其提出指控。
In May, he was arrested in Texas on the Minnesota charges.
他於五月在德克薩斯州因明尼蘇達州的指控而遭逮捕。
However, last month Texas Governor Greg Abbott declined to sign the extradition warrant, thereby refraining from handing him over to the Minnesota authorities.
然而,德克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特上月拒簽引渡令,未將其移交明尼蘇達州當局。
He was consequently released in Texas and promptly indicted by federal authorities.
他遂於德克薩斯州獲釋,旋即遭聯邦起訴。
Thereafter, he surrendered to the federal authorities and made his own way back to Minnesota.
其後,他向聯邦當局自首,並自行返回明尼蘇達州。
