    ICE agent pleads not guilty to charges of lying to FBI about Minneapolis shooting

    A federal immigration agent who shot and wounded a man in north Minneapolis this winter pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors say ICE agent Christian Castro shot through the door of a Minneapolis home, injuring Julio Sosa-Celis, and later lied to investigators about what happened. A federal judge set Castro’s bond at $75,000 with conditions. Castro also faces state assault charges in connection with the shooting. An outside investigation into St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her found she engaged in “offensive and inappropriate behavior” with city employees, but did not substantiate allegations that she sexually harassed or retaliated against employees. The findings were released Friday and outline steps for Her to take, including workplace conduct training. Her says she will comply. The investigation followed a complaint filed by Police Chief Axel Henry. Early voting for the midterm elections begins Friday in Minnesota. Community leaders are encouraging people to make a plan to vote and are organizing efforts to help people get to the polls and understand their voting rights. Mail-in voting procedures in Minnesota have not changed from past years. Residents can vote in person starting Friday, and voting information and locations are available through the Secretary of State’s office.

    Anti-ICE protest defendants ask court to dismiss federal charges

    A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and wounded a man in north Minneapolis this winter was arrested Wednesday in downtown Minneapolis. Christian Castro faces federal charges for allegedly lying to the FBI about the January shooting, in which he fired through the closed door of a home and wounded a man from Venezuela. Castro also faces state assault charges. He appeared in state court Thursday and is scheduled to appear in federal court Friday. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows the extent of drought in Minnesota largely unchanged over the past week, although conditions have improved in some areas. Much of northeastern Minnesota moved from severe to moderate drought after recent rainfall. About 71 percent of the state remains in some level of drought, with especially dry conditions in the Twin Cities, Red River Valley and east-central Minnesota. Minneapolis police have released body camera footage showing officers’ encounter with the gunman during a mass shooting at an apartment complex earlier this month. The September 2 shooting left two residents dead and several people wounded, including two officers. The gunman, Carlton Johnson II, was fatally shot by police. The footage shows four officers’ perspectives on an exchange of gunfire in a ninth-floor hallway. Several first-time candidates are running for local office in Pine Island and other Minnesota communities this fall, driven by concerns about new hyperscale data centers. Pine Island’s City Council approved Google’s plan for an 88-acre facility that could eventually expand to more than 400 acres. City Council candidate Tosca Wohl says she was prompted to run by concerns about transparency. Data centers have become an issue in races around the state, with some candidates supporting moratoriums or additional regulations.

    U.S. Sen. Smith works to free a Somali man arrested in Minnesota and sent to Guantanamo Bay

    Minnesota regulators will take up a nearly two-year dispute Tuesday between a tribal nation and its electric cooperative. The Upper Sioux Community built a large solar array next to its casino near Granite Falls a couple of years ago. Minnesota Valley Cooperative Light and Power Association threatened to cut power to the casino, saying the solar project was far bigger than its policy allows. St. Paul City Council President Rebecca Noecker said in an interview this week that more permanent supportive housing is what's needed to solve the unhoused issue in the city. U.S. Senator Tina Smith says she's working to help free a Somali man arrested in Minnesota and sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Federal agents arrested Adam Abdullah in December. The 31-year-old asylum seeker told MPR News last week that he's one of eight Somalis there and is limited to one 10-minute phone call a day. Summit Brewing Company could lose its St. Paul brewery to foreclosure after its lender sued over more than $8 million in unpaid debt. A first court hearing on that lawsuit is set for Friday.

    Minneapolis Public Schools considers restructuring plans that would leave over a dozen buildings without K-12 programming

    Minneapolis Public Schools is considering three restructuring plans that would leave 15 or 16 buildings without K-12 programming. Depending on the proposal, 12 percent to 14 percent of students would be affected by school mergers or boundary changes. Two judges at the Fort Snelling immigration court have stepped down. Their departures last month mean there are just four full-time judges to handle tens of thousands of cases. The immigration court — part of the Executive Branch — decides deportation and asylum cases. The city of Fargo and a police detective are being sued by a woman who says she was falsely arrested after police relied on artificial intelligence. Angela Lipps was arrested in Tennessee last year and held in jail for six months in connection with a case of bank fraud in Fargo.

    Price of diesel rises in Minnesota, as does corn prices

    The average price of diesel in Minnesota has crossed the $6 mark for the first time — another record high. And those high diesel prices are throttling the benefits of the highest corn prices in three years. Part of the rally in corn prices is due to U.S. expectations of a tighter crop supply, making it more valuable. Jordan Goblish farms corn, soybeans and black beans in Redwood County. He says the price bump is nice, but it's not enough to fully offset increasing costs.
