🇺🇸 English

On Friday, an immigration officer was indicted on federal charges for falsely telling the FBI that he had been assaulted before shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis earlier this year, and he pleaded not guilty.

移民局の職員は金曜日、今年初めのミネアポリスでの移民取締り中にベネズエラ人男性を射撃し負傷させる前に襲撃されたとFBIに偽証したとして連邦罪で起訴され、無罪を主張した。

Christian Castro, an officer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge after a federal grand jury indicted him on six federal charges for making false statements about the January 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.

移民税関捜査局(ICE)の職員クリスチャン・カストロは、今月1月14日のフリオ・セサル・ソサ=セリス銃撃について虚偽の供述をしたとして連邦大陪審に6つの連邦罪で起訴された後、米国治安判事の前に出廷した

Dressed in a black suit, with an electronic monitoring device visible on his ankle, Castro barely spoke during the hearing.

黒いスーツに身を包み足首には電子監視装置が露わになっているカストロは公聴会の間ほとんど口を開かなかった

He had been suspended without pay by ICE earlier this year.

彼は今年の初めにICEから無給での停職処分を言い渡されていた。

Castro's federal hearing took place the day after he was ordered to appear in state court on assault charges and was released from custody.

カストロの連邦公聴会は暴行罪により州裁判所へ出廷を命じられ身柄を釈放されたその翌日に執り行われた

His attorney, Daniel Gartz, declined to comment on the matter as he left the courthouse on Friday.

彼の弁護人であるダニエル・ガーツは金曜日に裁判所を後にする際本件に関してコメントすることを拒んだ

The court proceedings took place after months of legal wrangling over whether Castro, 52, would be extradited from his home state of Texas to face charges in Minnesota.

法廷手続きは52歳のカストロが自宅のあるテキサス州からミネソタ州での起訴に応じるため身柄を引き渡されるかどうかをめぐる数ヶ月にわたる法的闘争の後に行われた

He returned voluntarily after being released from a Texas prison last month.

彼は先月テキサス州の刑務所から釈放された後自ら戻ってきた

The case quickly became entangled in national politics.

この事件はすぐに国の政治に巻き込まれた

Minnesota is a state that President Donald Trump frequently targets, and he regularly mocks Governor Tim Walz of the Democratic Party, who ran as a vice-presidential candidate in the previous presidential election, as well as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia.

ミネソタ州はドナルド・トランプ大統領が頻繁に標的にする州であり、同大統領は前回の大統領選挙で副大統領候補として立候補した民主党のティム・ウォルズ知事やソマリア生まれのイルハン・オマール下院議員を定期的に嘲笑している

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, an ally of Trump, occasionally linked his refusal to sign the warrant for Castro's extradition to the ongoing investigation into large-scale fraud in Minnesota's government social service programs.

トランプの盟友であるテキサス州のグレッグ・アボット知事はカストロの身柄引き渡し令状への署名を拒否したことをミネソタ州の政府社会サービスプログラムにおける大規模な詐欺の継続的な調査と時折結びつけた

Trump used the fraud investigation to justify the crackdown.

トランプは詐欺調査を取締りを正当化するために利用した

In both the federal and state cases against Castro, prosecutors allege that he fired through the front door of a Minneapolis residence and shot 24-year-old Sosa-Celis in the leg.

カストロに対する連邦と州の双方の事件で検察は、彼がミネアポリスの住宅の玄関ドア越しに発砲し24歳のソサ=セリスの脚を撃ったと述べている

Prosecutors state that Castro later lied to investigators, claiming that he had been attacked with a broom handle and a snow shovel before he opened fire.

検察はカストロが後に捜査官に対し発砲する前にほうきの柄と雪かきシャベルで襲撃されたと嘘をついたと述べている。

Although Minnesota prosecutors indicted him in May, their efforts to have him extradited from Texas, where he had been arrested, were hampered.

ミネソタ州の検察当局は5月に彼を起訴したものの、彼が逮捕されていたテキサス州からの身柄引き渡しに向けた取り組みは妨げられることとなった。

He ultimately surrendered to federal authorities after officials warned that he might flee across the U.S.-Mexico border once released from a Texas prison.

彼は最終的にテキサス州の刑務所から釈放された後米国・メキシコ国境を越えて逃亡する可能性があるとの当局者の警告を受け連邦当局に出頭した

He was separately indicted in a U.S. district court earlier this month.

彼は今月初めに米国地方裁判所で別途起訴された

This is the first instance this year in which a federal officer has been prosecuted by the Department of Justice over actions taken during "Operation Metro Surge."

これは今年の「オペレーション・メトロ・サージ」中の行動をめぐって連邦職員が司法省から訴追された最初の事例である

The operation deployed thousands of investigators to the Twin Cities, sparking large-scale protests, arrests, and the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens by federal officers.

この作戦は数千人の捜査官をツインシティズに投入し大規模な抗議や逮捕連邦職員による米国市民2人の致命的な射殺を引き起こした

At an earlier hearing presided over by a federal judge in Texas, Castro was released after paying $75,000 in bail and was required to wear a GPS ankle monitor.

テキサス州の連邦判事が主宰した先の公聴会においてカストロは7万5000ドルの保釈金を支払って釈放されGPS足首モニターの装着を義務づけられた

He was further ordered to surrender his passport and personal firearms.

さらに彼は旅券および個人的な銃器を提出するよう命じられた。

Minnesota authorities have been locked in a dispute with the Trump administration over which charges against Castro should be handled.

ミネソタ州当局はカストロに対するいかなる起訴を扱うべきかをめぐってトランプ政権と争ってきた

The Department of Homeland Security has called Minnesota's prosecution of Castro "unlawful and nothing more than a political charade," stating that only federal authorities have jurisdiction.

国土安全保障省はミネソタ州によるカストロの訴追を「違法であり政治的見せかけに過ぎない」と呼び連邦当局のみが管轄権を持つと述べている

Authorities, including the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, arrested Castro in Texas on May 29, after a Minnesota judge issued a nationwide warrant.

ミネソタ州犯罪捜査局をはじめとする当局は、ミネソタ州の判事が全国規模の令状を発行したことを受け、5月29日、テキサス州においてカストロを逮捕した。

While he was being held in Texas, Minnesota requested his extradition; however, Governor Abbott refused to sign the extradition warrant.

ミネソタ州は、彼がテキサス州で拘留されている間に身柄引き渡しを求めたものの、アボット知事は引き渡し令状への署名を拒否した。
