Federal prosecutors have charged Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Christian Castro with allegedly making false statements to investigators about a January shooting in Minneapolis that wounded Venezuelan immigrant Julio Sosa-Celis.
The federal case follows separate Minnesota felony charges against Castro and comes after video evidence contradicted his account that Sosa-Celis and another person had attacked him.
Castro surrendered on Thursday and is expected to appear before a federal judge in Texas on Friday, according to sources cited by ABC News.
The case stems from a Jan. 14 encounter during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.
According to charging documents, Castro and another agent pursued Venezuelan national Alfredo Aljorna after a traffic stop before Aljorna entered the home he shared with Sosa-Celis.
Castro then fired through the closed front door while several people were inside, striking Sosa-Celis, 24, in the leg.
One witness said two children were inside the home.
Sosa-Celis and another person were initially charged with assaulting an ICE officer based on allegations that Castro had been attacked.
Those charges were later dropped after surveillance footage showed the alleged attack did not occur.
ICE suspended Castro and the other agent involved, though the second agent has not been charged.
Castro also faces Minnesota charges filed in May, including four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime.
Efforts to extradite him from Texas became the subject of a dispute after Governor Greg Abbott declined to cooperate.
Castro was released after 90 days in custody, and a federal judge subsequently ruled that he lacked authority to intervene in the interstate extradition dispute.
The federal investigation has also generated tensions inside the Justice Department.
ABC News reported that career prosecutor Matthew Evans was fired Thursday after ProPublica published a letter in which he argued that evidence supported a more serious civil rights charge against Castro.
Sources cited by ABC disputed Evans's characterization and said the civil rights investigation remains active, with no final decision on additional charges.
Castro has not entered a plea to either the state or federal charges.
