Claims analyzed (3)

1. verified: Texas Rangers just arrested an ICE agent.
   Christian Castro, an ICE agent, was arrested by Texas Rangers and other federal agents in Texas on May 29, 2026. The arrest was a result of charges filed in Minnesota.
2. verified: The ICE agent shot an unarmed immigrant through a closed door.
   Christian Castro shot Julio C. Sosa-Celis in the leg on January 14, 2026, by firing his weapon through the front door of a home. Prosecutors stated that Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Aljorna, who was also present, were legally in the U.S. The term 'unarmed immigrant' is consistent with reports that they did not attack the officer as initially claimed.
3. verified: The ICE agent lied to cover it up.
   Christian Castro was charged with 'falsely reporting a crime' in connection with the shooting. ICE Director Todd Lyons acknowledged that Castro was one of two agents who 'lied about the circumstances of the incident.' Surveillance footage and physical evidence contradicted Castro's initial account that he was attacked.
