🇺🇸 English

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

一名移民官员于周五对联邦指控作出无罪答辩该指控称今年早些时候明尼阿波利斯移民执法行动中枪伤一名委内瑞拉男子之前,曾就自己遭到袭击一事向FBI撒谎

Christian Castro, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, appeared before a United States magistrate judge the other day to answer the charges.

移民与海关执法局官员克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗日前在美国治安法官面前出庭应讯。

This followed the prosecution's indictment earlier this month on six counts of making false statements to federal authorities, arising from the shooting of Julio César Sosa-Celis on January 14.

此前检方于本月1月14日胡利奥·塞萨尔·索萨-塞利斯遭枪击一事以六项联邦虚假陈述罪名对其提起公诉

Clad in a black suit, with an electronic monitoring device conspicuously fastened to his ankle, Castro remained almost entirely silent throughout the hearing.

卡斯特罗身着玄色西装踝部电子监控装置赫然在目,然于听证会上几近缄默

Earlier this year, ICE had already placed him on suspension without pay.

今年早些时候ICE已对其作出停职停薪之处分。

Just one day before Castro attended this federal hearing, he had appeared in state court on an assault charge, after which he was released and freed from custody.

就在卡斯特罗出席此次联邦听证会的前一日,他方才因袭击指控在州法院应讯随后获释脱离羁押

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

辩护律师丹尼尔·格茨于周五步出法院时拒绝对此案发表任何评论

Before these court proceedings commenced, months of legal wrangling had already unfolded over whether the 52-year-old Castro should be extradited from his home state of Texas to Minnesota to face the charges.

在这些法庭程序启动之前围绕52岁的卡斯特罗是否应自其家乡州得克萨斯被引渡至明尼苏达以面对指控已然历经数月的法律拉锯

After his release from a Texas jail last month, he ultimately returned of his own accord.

上月自得克萨斯一所监狱获释后他最终自行返回

The case was promptly swept up into the maelstrom of national politics.

此案旋即被裹挟进全国政治的漩涡之中

Minnesota has long been a frequent target of President Donald Trump's attacks, 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.

明尼苏达州素来是总统唐纳德·特朗普频频攻讦的标靶,他屡屡讥诮民主党籍州长蒂姆·沃尔兹——后者曾在上届总统选举中以副总统候选人身份参选——以及出生于索马里的众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔

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 ongoing investigation into large-scale fraud in Minnesota's state government social services programs.

特朗普的盟友得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特时而将其拒绝签署卡斯特罗引渡令之举,与明尼苏达州政府社会服务项目中大规模欺诈案的持续调查相挂钩。

It is precisely these fraud investigations that Trump has seized upon to justify his crackdown.

特朗普正是借这些欺诈调查为镇压行动张目。

In federal and state proceedings against Castro, prosecutors allege that he fired a shot through the front door of a Minneapolis residence, striking 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方指控隔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 made false statements to investigators, falsely claiming that he had been assaulted with a broom handle and a snow shovel prior to the shooting.

检方进一步称卡斯特罗事后向调查人员作出不实陈述谎称自己在开枪之前曾遭受扫帚柄与雪铲的袭击

Minnesota prosecutors filed charges against him in May, yet the extradition proceedings from Texas were beset by obstructions; prior to that, he had already been arrested in Texas.

明尼苏达州检方于五月对其提起指控,然自得克萨斯州将其引渡之程序横遭阻滞;此前,其已于得克萨斯州被捕。

After officials warned that he might abscond across the U.S.-Mexico border upon his release from a Texas jail, he ultimately surrendered to federal authorities.

在官员警告称自得克萨斯州一所监狱获释后逾越美墨边境潜逃之后,最终向联邦当局投案自首

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

本月早些时候已在美国联邦地区法院被另行起诉

This marks the first time the Department of Justice has brought criminal charges against a federal official for conduct during this year's "Operation Metro Surge" — an operation that deployed thousands of agents to the Twin Cities area, precipitating large-scale protests, arrests, and the fatal shooting of two American citizens by federal officers.

这是司法部首次针对今年“都会激增行动”期间一名联邦官员的行为提起公诉——该行动将数千名探员部署至双城地区,随之引发了大规模抗议、逮捕,以及联邦官员枪杀两名美国公民的事件。

At an earlier hearing presided over by a federal judge in Texas, Castro was released on $75,000 bail and ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor; in addition, he was required to surrender his passport and any personal firearms.

在得克萨斯州一名联邦法官主持的此前一场听证会上,卡斯特罗以7.5万美元保释金获释,并被责令佩戴GPS脚踝监控器;此外,他还被要求交出护照及任何个人枪支。

Friction persists between Minnesota authorities and the Trump administration over which party should ultimately handle any charges against Castro.

明尼苏达州当局特朗普政府之间究竟应由何方处置针对卡斯特罗的任何指控一事龃龉不断

The Department of Homeland Security dismissed Minnesota's prosecution of Castro as "unlawful, nothing more than a political stunt," asserting that only federal authorities possess jurisdiction.

国土安全部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才享有管辖权

The authoritiesamong them the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehensiontook Castro into custody in Texas on May 29, after a Minnesota judge had issued a nationwide arrest warrant.

当局——其中包括明尼苏达州刑事逮捕局——于5月29日在得克萨斯将卡斯特罗缉拿归案,此前一名明尼苏达州法官已签发全国逮捕令。

While he was being held in custody in Texas, Minnesota submitted an extradition request; Abbott, however, refused to sign the extradition warrant.

明尼苏达州于其遭得克萨斯州羁押期间提出引渡请求,然阿博特拒签引渡令。
