🇺🇸 English

An immigration officer pleaded not guilty on Friday to federal charges alleging that he lied to the FBI about being assaulted before he shot and wounded a Venezuelan man earlier this year during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.

一名移民官員於週五對聯邦指控表示不認罪,該指控稱他在今年早些時候明尼阿波利斯移民打擊行動中槍傷一名委內瑞拉男子之前,曾向FBI謊稱自己遭到襲擊。

Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge, after prosecutors indicted him this month on six federal charges of making false statements in connection with the January 14 shooting of Julio César Sosa-Selis.

移民及海關執法局官員克里斯蒂安·卡斯特羅在美國治安法官面前出庭此前檢察官於本月就1月14日胡利奧·塞薩爾·索薩-塞利斯槍擊案以六項聯邦虛假陳述罪名起訴了他

Dressed in a black suit and wearing an electronic monitoring device on his ankle, Castro said almost nothing during the hearing.

卡斯特羅身著黑色西裝腳踝處佩戴著電子監控裝置於聽證會上幾乎未曾發言

Earlier this year, he had been placed on unpaid leave by ICE.

今年早些時候他已遭ICE處以無薪停職

As Castro's federal hearing took place, he had just been released the previous day after appearing in state court on assault charges.

卡斯特羅的聯邦聽證會舉行之際,他前一天在州法院因襲擊指控出庭後獲釋

His defense attorney, Daniel Goelz, declined to comment on the case as he left the courthouse on Friday.

他的辯護律師丹尼爾·格爾茨週五離開法院時拒絕就本案置評

Before the court proceedings began, a months-long legal battle had unfolded over whether the 52-year-old Castro would be extradited from his home state of Texas to Minnesota to face the charges.

在法院程序展開前圍繞52歲的卡斯特羅是否會從其家鄉州德克薩斯州被引渡到明尼蘇達州面對指控進行了數月的法律鬥爭

After being released from a Texas prison last month, he ultimately returned on his own.

上月從德克薩斯州監獄獲釋後最終自行返回

The case was quickly drawn into national politics.

此案旋即被捲入全國政治

Minnesota was a frequent target of President Donald Trump's attacks, as he often mocked Democratic Governor Tim Walzwho had run as a vice-presidential candidate in the previous presidential electionas well as Somali-born Representative Ilhan Omar.

明尼蘇達州總統唐納德·特朗普頻繁攻擊的目標,他經常嘲諷民主黨州長蒂姆·沃爾茲——沃爾茲曾在上次總統選舉中作為副總統候選人參選——以及出生於索馬里的眾議員伊爾汗·奧馬爾

Trump's ally, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, sometimes linked his refusal to sign Castro's extradition order to the large-scale fraud investigations underway into Minnesota's government social service programs.

特朗普的盟友德克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特有時將他拒絕簽署卡斯特羅引渡令明尼蘇達州政府社會服務項目中正在進行的大規模欺詐調查聯繫起來

Trump used these fraud investigations to justify the crackdown.

特朗普利用這些欺詐調查來為打擊行動辯護

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

在針對卡斯特羅的聯邦與州案件中檢察官指控從明尼阿波利斯一處住宅的前門開槍擊中24歲的索薩-塞利斯的腿部

They claim that Castro later lied to investigators, falsely stating that he had been attacked with a broom handle and a snow shovel before the shooting.

他們稱卡斯特羅事後向調查人員謊稱,自己在開槍前曾遭到掃帚柄和雪鏟襲擊。

Prosecutors in Minnesota filed charges against him in May, but their efforts to extradite him from Texas, where he had already been arrested, ran into difficulties.

明尼蘇達州檢察官於5月對他提出指控,卻在試圖將他從已遭逮捕的德克薩斯州引渡的過程中受挫。

When officials raised the alarm that he might flee across the US-Mexico border after being released from a Texas prison, he eventually turned himself in to federal authorities.

當官員發出警報從德克薩斯州監獄獲釋後可能越過美墨邊境潛逃時,他最終向聯邦當局自首

Earlier this month, he was separately indicted in a US federal district court.

本月早些時候在美國聯邦地區法院被另行起訴

This is the first time the Department of Justice has filed charges regarding the conduct of federal officials this year during "Operation Metro Surge."

這是司法部首次就聯邦官員今年在「地鐵激增行動」期間的行為提出起訴

The operation brought thousands of agents to the Twin Cities, sparking protests and arrests across the region, as well as fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal officials.

該行動將數千名探員帶到雙城,引發了席捲各地的抗議與逮捕以及聯邦官員對兩名美國公民的致命槍擊

At an earlier hearing before a federal judge in Texas, Castro was released on $75,000 bail and ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor.

在早前於德克薩斯州一名聯邦法官面前舉行的聽證會上卡斯特羅以7.5萬美元保釋金獲釋並被命令佩戴GPS腳踝監控器

He was also required to surrender his passport and any personal firearms.

亦被要求交出護照及任何個人槍支

Minnesota authorities are locked in a power struggle with the Trump administration to determine which side should handle any charges against Castro.

明尼蘇達州當局正與特朗普政府展開角力以釐清應由何方處理針對卡斯特羅的任何指控

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才擁有管轄權

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

當局,包括明尼蘇達州刑事逮捕局,於5月29日在德克薩斯州逮捕了卡斯特羅,此前明尼蘇達州一名法官發出了全國逮捕令。

Minnesota sought his extradition while he was being held in Texas, but Abbott refused to sign the extradition warrant.

明尼蘇達州在他被德克薩斯州拘留期間尋求引渡,但阿博特拒絕簽署引渡令。
