An immigration officer pleaded not guilty on Friday to the charges set out in a federal indictment, which alleges that, before he shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis earlier this year, he had falsely told the FBI that he had been assaulted.

一名移民官員於週五就聯邦起訴書所列指控作無罪抗辯該起訴書指稱其於今年早些時候明尼阿波利斯移民執法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 United States magistrate judge, after prosecutors had this month charged him with six counts of federal false statements in connection with his alleged shooting of Julio César Sosa-Celis on January 14.

移民及海關執法局官員克里斯蒂安·卡斯特羅美國治安法官席前出庭應訊此前檢察官已於本月就其涉嫌於1月14日槍擊胡利奧·塞薩爾·索薩-塞利斯一案,以六項聯邦虛假陳述罪名對其提起公訴

Clad in a dark suit, with an electronic monitoring device plainly visible around his ankle, Castro remained almost entirely silent throughout the hearing, uttering scarcely a word.

卡斯特羅身著玄色西裝腳踝處電子監控器昭然可見於聽證會上幾近緘默未發一語

Earlier this year, he had been suspended without pay by ICE.

今年早些時候他已遭ICE無薪停職

Castro's federal hearing convened just as he had been released the previous day after appearing in state court on assault charges.

卡斯特羅的聯邦聽證會召開之際,恰逢其前一日於州法院就襲擊指控出庭後獲釋

His defense attorney, Daniel Goelz, declined to make any comment on the case as he stepped out of the courthouse on Friday.

其辯護律師丹尼爾·格爾茨於週五步出法院時拒絕對此案發表任何評論

Prior to the commencement of court proceedings, months of legal wrangling had ensued over whether Castro, aged 52, would be extradited from his home state of Texas to Minnesota to face the charges.

在法院程序啟動之前圍繞52歲的卡斯特羅是否會自其家鄉州德克薩斯州被引渡至明尼蘇達州以面對指控歷經數月之法律鬥爭

Having been released from a Texas prison last month, he ultimately returned of his own accord.

上月自德克薩斯州監獄獲釋後他最終自行返回

The case was swiftly drawn into the maelstrom of national politics.

此案迅即被捲入全國政治漩渦

Minnesota has long been a frequent target of President Donald Trump's invective, as he has repeatedly derided the state's Democratic governor, Tim Walzwho ran as a vice-presidential candidate in the previous presidential electionas well as Representative Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia.

明尼蘇達州素為總統唐納德·特朗普頻繁攻訐標的,屢屢揶揄民主黨籍州長蒂姆·沃爾茲——沃爾茲曾於上屆總統選舉中作為副總統候選人參選——以及出生於索馬里眾議員伊爾汗·奧馬爾

Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas and an ally of Trump, has at times linked his refusal to sign Castro's extradition warrant to the sprawling fraud investigation under way into Minnesota's state social service programmes.

特朗普之盟友德克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特時而將其拒簽卡斯特羅引渡令之舉,與明尼蘇達州政府社會服務項目正在進行大規模欺詐調查相聯繫。

Trump has accordingly seized upon these fraud investigations to justify his crackdown.

特朗普藉此等欺詐調查打擊行動辯護。

In the federal and state proceedings brought against Castro, prosecutors allege that he fired a shot through the front door of a residence in Minneapolis, striking Sosa-Selis, then twenty-four years old, in the leg.

在針對卡斯特羅所提起之聯邦及州層級訴訟中檢察官指控經由明尼阿波利斯某處住宅之前門開槍擊中時年二十四歲之索薩-塞利斯的腿部

The prosecution further asserts that Castro subsequently lied to investigators, claiming that he had been assaulted with a broom handle and a snow shovel prior to the shooting.

檢方復稱卡斯特羅嗣後向調查人員謊稱其於開槍前曾遭掃帚柄與雪鏟襲擊。

Although Minnesota prosecutors filed charges against him in May, their efforts to extradite him from Texas, where he had already been arrested, met with frustration.

明尼蘇達州檢察官雖於5月對其提出指控,卻在自其已遭逮捕之德克薩斯州將其引渡的努力中受挫。

At the very moment officials raised the alarm that, upon his release from a Texas jail, he might well slip across the US-Mexico border and abscond, he ultimately surrendered himself to federal authorities.

當官員發出警報指稱自德克薩斯州監獄獲釋後恐將越過美墨邊境潛逃之際他最終向聯邦當局投案自首

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

本月早些時候在美國聯邦地區法院遭另行起訴

This marks the first time the Department of Justice has filed suit over the conduct of federal officials during this year's "Operation Metro Surge," an operation that deployed thousands of agents to the Twin Cities, thereby triggering a wave of protests that spread far and wide, arrests, and the fatal shooting of two American citizens by federal officials.

這是司法部首度針對聯邦官員於今年地鐵激增行動」期間之所作所為提起訴訟該行動將數千名探員部署至雙城進而引發蔓延各地的抗議浪潮逮捕行動,以及聯邦官員對兩名美國公民之致命槍擊

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; he was also instructed to surrender his passport and any personal firearms.

在早前於德克薩斯州一名聯邦法官席前所進行之聽證會上卡斯特羅以七萬五千美元之保釋金獲釋並遭責令佩戴GPS腳踝監控器其亦被勒令交出其護照及任何個人槍支

Minnesota authorities and the Trump administration have become embroiled in a tug-of-war over who should handle any charges brought against Castro.

明尼蘇達州當局特朗普政府就誰應處置針對卡斯特羅的任何指控一事陷入角力

The Department of Homeland Security asserted that Minnesota's prosecution of Castro is "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt," and declared that only federal authorities have jurisdiction.

國土安全部聲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」,並宣稱唯有聯邦當局方享有管轄權

The authoritiesamong them the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehensionapprehended Castro in Texas on May 29, an operation carried out only after a Minnesota judge had issued a nationwide arrest warrant.

當局——其中包括明尼蘇達州刑事逮捕局——於5月29日在德克薩斯州將卡斯特羅緝拿歸案,此舉係在明尼蘇達州一名法官簽發全國逮捕令之後所為。

Minnesota submitted an extradition request while he was in Texan custody; however, Abbott declined to sign the extradition warrant.

明尼蘇達州於其遭德克薩斯州羈押期間提出引渡請求,惟阿博特拒絕簽署引渡令。
