WRKO. The voice of Boston. The showdown now looms between Texas and Minnesota. And the question now is, should an ice agent be extradited to Minnesota? to face trial. Good morning, Cooner Country. Okay, my friends, you want to talk about a battle royale, a clash of wills. So, here is now the absolute latest on an extremely important case. The left, especially sanctuary state governors, sanctuary city mayors. This is the case now that they want. They want to make an example of ICE agents. They want to unleash a witch hunt to go after ICE agents, send them to prison. and essentially destroy the morale and effectiveness of ICE by trying to hold them, quote, unquote, accountable simply for doing their job. Here is now the absolute latest. Earlier this year, as you know, ICE conducted multiple immigration crackdowns in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and that greater area in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Governor Tim Walz Waltz, did everything he could to obstruct and block it, including inciting people to confront ICE agents. If you remember what he said, he said, ICE is going door to door, asking them to rat out neighbors who could be, quote, people of color, unquote. It was a blatant lie, and it was an incitement to panic and to hysteria.

And then you add to that, that boy mayor, Jacob Frey of Minneapolis, who every day took to the TV screen or even out on the streets in a bullhorn saying block ice, obstruct ice, report on ice, prevent them, hinder them from doing their jobs. Well, in one of these immigration crackdowns, Several ice agents led by Christian Castro. He's from Texas, but he was working obviously with other ice agents in a massive operation up in the Minneapolis area. They were trying to apprehend an illegal Venezuelan alien, a criminal Venezuelan illegal alien. He refused to follow orders as they pulled them over, ran to his apartment complex, where he was with another illegal alien, a 17-year-old. ICE pursued both of them. They apparently then, one grabbed a shovel, the other one grabbed a broom handle. and attempted to assault these ICE agents. By the way, a shovel can potentially kill you. You smash somebody with a shovel in the face or in the head. You can either do severe brain damage or kill that person. Anyway, in self-defense, ICE agents had to discharge their weapon, and they hit the 17-year-old in the thigh. Didn't kill him. I want to stress this. Didn't even put a permanently maim him or cripple him or shot him in the leg. And by the way, don't these protesters, these anti-ice activists always say, well, if you're going to shoot them, don't shoot them in the chest or in the head or in the heart or the critical mass. Shoot them in the leg. Okay, they shot him in the leg. Well, that wasn't good enough. Keith Ellison, the radical left-wing attorney general, Tim, Tim Walz, now said they claim that they never did use a broom, they never did use a shovel, that apparently ICE agents they claim are lying. And so they have charged Christian Castro with four counts, four counts. of second-degree assault and one count of making false statements about a crime. This episode sponsored by She's Birdie.

Christian Castro was arrested earlier this year. Minnesota wants to try him in Minnesota. They arrested him in Texas. Christian Castro is currently right now sitting in jail. waiting to see his fate whether he will continue to be detained or will he be extradited to Minnesota to face trial. In Texas, once you're detained for 90 days and you're not extradited or you're not going to be facing any further charges or you're not going to be sent to a state to face charges, you are then released. So next week, the 90 days are up. Christian Castro could easily be released. The sheriff that is holding him in his jail says, we're going to release him next week. Governor Greg Abbott says, we don't want to extradite him to Minnesota. We're going to release Christian Castro next week. So, Attorney General Keith Ellison, backed by that crazy moonbat governor of Tim Walz in Minnesota, have now taken Texas to court. They have sued Texas, saying now they must be compelled to extradite Christian Castro. If a judge says yes, it's most likely there's nothing Greg Abbott can do. and Christian Castro will be sent extradited to Minnesota, in which I'm telling you they're going to find him guilty. Not because he is guilty, because this is a political witch hunt. They want to get this ice agent to make an example of this ice agent, that they vowed Larry Ellison, Frey, and Waltz. that they're going to make ICE pay for daring to go into their state and start arresting, detaining, and deporting criminal illegal aliens. And so by putting Castro in prison, they believe this will deter ICE and make it almost impossible for them to go after other criminal illegal aliens for fear now that they could be arrested as well. Listen now to Keith Ellison. saying we've now sued Governor Greg Abbott, we've taken him to court, we want him to sign that warrant, execute the warrant, and send Christian Castro to us, where then the mob, we in our court system, are going to throw that man behind bars and lock him up for the rest of his life. Roll cut seven, Mike.

I informed him that if he did not sign the rendition warrant by the end of the day yesterday, I would sue to compel him to do so. Governor Greg Abbott did not respond. Christian Castro is still not here to face justice. Therefore, this morning, my office filed suit asking the federal court in Texas to require government Greg Abbott to sign the warrant and to the block. to sign the warrant and to block the Cameron County Sheriff from releasing Castro until Minnesota law enforcement can arrive there to physically transport Castro here to face the charges laid against him. I mean, this is sickening. I mean, this is really sickening. Now, on many levels. Now, by the way, you're going to say, maybe you're going to say, well, who the hell prosecuted Castro? Christian Castro, this ice agent. It is a George Soros-funded prosecutor, Mary Moriarty, and she went after him under orders from Soros and Waltz and Larry Ellison, and they want to get him. It's a witch hunt. This is an absolute witch-hunt. Make no mistake about it. And as I said earlier, they charged him with four counts of second-degree assault, one count of falsely reporting a crime. They're claiming that these people never used the shovel, never used a broom handle. Now, remember, they were both. Now, Waltz and Larry Ellison are claiming that these two Venezuelans are legally in the United States. The federal government, federal authorities, the Department of Homeland Security are saying, that's a lie. Both of these Venezuelan migrants are illegal aliens. They have no business being in America. And as I said earlier, one of them, the older one, not the one that was shot. The one that was shot is 17 years old. The older one was literally wielding a shovel, and he was trying to assault ICE officers. The other guy was wielding a broom. And so as they, you know, these guys are swinging away at them, they shot the younger one in the leg. Non-fatal shooting. I want to stress that. Now, what is clear is that Larry Ellison and Waltz have said repeatedly that they're going to make an example. They're going to make an example of Christian Castro. They want to hang an ice agent. They want to punish an ice agent. They want to send an ice agent into prison. Not because he's done anything wrong, but because they want to make an example of ice so they never dare to go into another sanctuary city or another sanctuary state. That's what this is now all about.

I have more to say on this, but what I want to ask all of you, should this ICE agent be extradited to Minnesota? Or should Governor Greg Abbott continue to protect him and hold the line?
