Governor Abbott should have granted Governor Walz’s extradition request long ago and is required to do so now,” he said.Governor Abbott went off on Ellison and told him to pound sand.Federal prosecutors are now gunning for Castro after Ellison failed to force Abbott to hand him over to Minnesota authorities.The Associated Press reported:Federal prosecutors have charged a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with lying to investigators about the events leading up to the shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Minneapolis immigration crackdown earlier this year, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.The person was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
