DOJ Blocked ICE Agent Shooting Charge over Federal Prosecutor's Objections

DOJ leadership overruled a Minnesota prosecutor to limit charges against an ICE agent who shot a Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis.

Department of Justice leadership in Washington blocked civil rights charges against ICE agent Christian Castro, 52, accused of shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg in January during Operation Metro Surge, despite the objections of Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Evans. Prosecutors were told to prepare for false-statement charges only, which carry far lighter penalties. Castro also faces state felony assault charges in Minnesota, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott refused extradition requests. The incident was one of three ICE agent shootings in Minneapolis, two of them fatal.

Trump homeland security chief says ICE agents could be sent to polling places

US homeland security secretary says ICE agents could be deployed to polling places ahead of the November midterms, downplaying voter intimidation concerns.

Homeland security secretary Markwayne Mullin said ICE officers could appear at polling sites to enforce specific threats or serve warrants, while DHS separately stated no operations targeting polling locations are planned. Democrats and voting rights groups have warned of voter intimidation ahead of the midterms; Joint Chiefs chairman Dan Caine said the military has no plans to deploy troops to polling places. Experts note the administration has provided little proof of its non-citizen voting claims, such as the Nevada case where 16,000 suspected registrations shrank to 185 confirmed non-citizens.

Cops Are Asking Axon to Make Their Cameras Look Different From Flock So People Don't Destroy Them

Axon says police want its ALPR cameras to look different from Flock devices as widespread vandalism and public backlash against Flock spreads.

Axon executives said in an August 26 webinar, later deleted, that law enforcement customers asked for ALPR camera redesigns so they look less like Flock cameras amid widespread vandalism of Flock devices. Some cities are switching from Flock to Axon cameras after reports of police misuse, including lookups for ICE, tracking of a woman who self-administered an abortion, and stalking of ex-spouses. Vandalism of Flock cameras has led to arrests, including a man charged with three felonies for breaking a 3D-printed decoy camera.

Retail theft bill spurs ‘very large and very dangerous’ surveillance fears

The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act advances toward Senate attachment to the defense bill, drawing ACLU warnings of expanded ICE surveillance powers.

The Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA) passed the House 348-60 in June, and Senate supporters including Chuck Grassley are pushing to attach it to the annual defense policy bill. The bill would create an Organized Retail and Supply Chain Crime Coordination Center within ICE's Homeland Security Investigations, add criminal penalties for laundering stolen-goods proceeds with a $5,000 charging threshold, and broaden data sharing with retailers. The ACLU, NAACP LDF, and allied groups warn the vaguely drafted provisions would effectively grant DHS access to retail surveillance feeds such as cameras and license plate readers, while industry backers say it only enhances existing information sharing and could help fight cyber-enabled crime.
