Story summary

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott on August 18, 2026, after Christian Castro’s May 29, 2026 arrest.
Attorney Mary Moriarty said Castro’s badge does not protect him from four second-degree assault counts and one false-reporting count for the January 14, 2026 shooting.
