Minneapolis, Minnesota - On Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (USICE) and Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) agent Christian Jeremiah Castro, 52, of McAllen, Texas was charged in state court (Minnesota) with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime. Castro was taken into custody after appearing at a Hennepin County court on September 17, 2026. (HNNUSA article link: https://hispanicnewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2026/05/wanted-usice-agent-christian-castro-52.html?m=1)

According to a press release by the Hennepin County District Attorney's Office regarding previously filed criminal charges, on January 14, 2026, Castro fired his weapon through a front door and into a home with multiple people inside. The bullet struck Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg and lodged in the wall of a child’s bedroom.

During Castro's first appearance, Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) prosecutors argued for $500,000 unconditional bail and $350,000 conditional bail. The court set bail at $400,000 and $200,000, respectively.

The terms of bail are:

  • No contact with witnesses
  • No possession of weapons
  • Surrender of passport and electronic monitoring
  • Supervised release
  • Pre-signed waiver of extradition

“The process of holding Mr. Castro accountable for firing his weapon through a front door, striking Julio Sosa-Celis, endangering the lives of others, and falsely reporting a crime has begun,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “Every defendant, including Mr. Castro, is entitled to a fair trial and he will receive one. My thoughts today are with the victims whose lives were upended because of this incident.”

Both Mr. Sosa-Celis and Mr. Aljorna were charged with federal crimes based on Mr. Castro’s false reports. Those charges were later dismissed when video was produced that definitively countered Mr. Castro’s claims.

Castro’s next Minnesota state court appearance is scheduled for November 3 at 1:30 p.m..

Castro is also facing federal charges for making false statements in the frivolous federal criminal complaint filed against both Castro and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna. (District of Minnesota | Christian Castro Indicted by Grand Jury for Making False Statements | United States Department of Justice https://share.google/HFums5DeWYIkG5NH1)

Castro and another USICE agent (has not been identified) lied in a federal crime report saying they were attacked by Sosa-Celis and Aljorna, which a security camera surveillance video from a nearby location captured the shooting contradicting Castro's claims.

On Friday, September 18, 2026, Castro appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright in Minnesota and pleaded not guilty to 6 federal counts for providing materially false statements. He was released on s $75,000 bond, must remain in GPS monitoring, stay in Minnesota or Texas and must request approval for travel by the court, no contact with victims or witnesses and had surrendered his passport.

Castro is considered a flight risk by Minnesota authorities and might have planned to cross into Mexico to avoid state and federal prosecution, despite his flight risk, he was granted bond by both the state and federal courts.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Saturday, César Antonio Pabón-Péres, 98, passed away after spending decades in Milwaukee forging programs at the United Community Center (UCC) to help kids at risk and kept them off the streets. Pabón-Péres was well respected for his ability to help make the UCC a thriving multi-million community non-profit organization today, and worked at UCC for 35 years before retiring and then volunteered at UCC afterwards.

The fitness center at UCC was named after him. Pabón-Péres, who was an Army Sergeant also received the Congressional gold metal in 2016 by former President Barack Obama for his service in the Korean War with the Borinqueneers in the 65th Infantry Regiment from Puerto Rico.

After returning to Puerto Rico from the military, he went to college and later became a special education teacher. Pabón-Péres was then hired by the Milwaukee Christian Center to work with young people with behavioral problems, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

In the 1960's,  Pabón-Péres was also a professional TV wrestler known as the Superman of Puerto Rico.

He managed the Spot at South 6 Street, which later moved to S. 9th Street and became the UCC. Where he later became the senior exercise instructor and weight room orientation instructor at UCC.

According to Julio Pabon, his son, "He was beloved by so many and did many inspirational things with his very long life. He was also known as the cofounder of the United Community Center. After the spot burnt down, he used a letter, signed by Richard Nixon to raise money that was used to purchase the old Church that became the gymnasium, which is now the theater space at UCC. Although he wasn’t the top decision maker at UCC, mainly because he wanted to be on the street level working directly with the community, he was instrumental in creating the culture that existed in that space. He had his arms opened to all and I carry that legacy with me as I teach in the elementary level. I’m grateful for all of his teachings."

Annette Rivera-Pili also says, "My Uncle Emilio Velez, who at the time was his best friend, and they both had a vision to be a part of the community and to help youngsters get off the streets and have a purpose. Unfortunately, my uncle could not see his dream become a reality because he passed away of leukemia at the age of 46 and Mr.Pabon made sure that he would go forward with this dream, which today is UCC that’s a very important part of the story thank you for sharing. In response to Julio Pabon, your father will never be forgotten!!"

Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Janice Ramos, 30, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, with 17 years incarceration and 8 years of supervision for the May 5, 2025 homicide of Astrid N. González-Feliciano, 30, at the 1900 block of W. Amy Place in the Southside of Milwaukee.

Ramos in a plead agreement with prosecutors pleaded guilty on April 8, for a reduced charge of 1st-degree reckless homicide.

According to the criminal complaint, Ramos fatally shot González-Feliciano with a .45 Calber handgun, after 20 hours, police were called to the victim's place of residence after a neighbor saw several of González-Feliciano's nude children outside alone. When police arrived at the scene, they located González-Feliciano's body inside the home and recovered four spent bullet casings including one that her child was holding at the time.

Police apparently discovered that González-Feliciano had been fatally shot at least 20 hours before they were called to the homicide crime scene.

The criminal complaint says, that neighbors had previously heard loud bangs, but thought they were fireworks. Later, a neighbor saw several of González-Feliciano's young children nude in the front porch and when the neighbor asked one of the children about their mother, the child told the neighbor that she was inside on the floor bleeding. The neighbor then called police to the scene.

Milwaukee police were able to get surveillance video from a nearby area and they could see Ramos and another unidentified person wearing hoodies in the shadows by González-Feliciano's residence. Ramos confessed to police that she called her child's father earlier with an excuse to get him to leave González-Feliciano's residence who he was dating. Once Ramos ex-boyfriend left, she approached González-Feliciano who came to the door and fatally shot her multiple times. Ramos told police that it was the other person who killed González-Feliciano, but police have yet to charge Ramos's alleged accomplice.
