An immigration officer said he is not guilty on Friday.
He is facing federal charges.
He lied to the FBI, they say.
He said he was attacked before he shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis.
The man was hurt.
The officer is Christian Castro.
He works for ICE.
He went before a U.S. magistrate judge.
Prosecutors charged him this month.
They say he made false statements six times.
The charges are about a shooting on Jan. 14.
The man who was shot is Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.
Castro said very little in the hearing.
ICE suspended him without pay earlier this year.
The federal hearing was one day after Castro went to state court.
He faced assault charges there.
He was released from custody.
His defense attorney is Daniel Gerdts.
Gerdts did not want to comment.
This came after months of legal fights.
The fights were about moving Castro from Texas.
Texas is his home state.
Castro is 52.
He returned on his own.
He was freed from a Texas jail last month.
In both cases, prosecutors say Castro shot Sosa-Celis in the leg.
Sosa-Celis is 24 years old.
They say Castro fired through the front door of a home in Minneapolis.
They say he later lied to investigators.
He told them he was attacked with a broom handle and a snow shovel.
He said this happened before he fired his gun.
Minnesota prosecutors charged him in May.
But they could not move him from Texas.
He was arrested there.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is a Trump ally.
He refused to sign the papers to move Castro.
Castro later turned himself in to federal authorities.
Officials warned he might run away across the U.S.-Mexico border.
This is the first time the Justice Department is prosecuting a federal officer.
The case is about actions during this year's Operation Metro Surge.
Minnesota authorities have fought the Trump administration.
They disagree about who should handle charges against Castro.
The Department of Homeland Security called Minnesota's case against Castro "unlawful and nothing more than a political stunt."
It said only federal authorities have jurisdiction.
