An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent has been federally charged with lying about the events leading up to his shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg earlier this year, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The charges against ICE officer Christian Castro are not yet publicly available, but a person familiar with the matter told CNN that he is facing several counts of making false statements.
CNN attempted to reach a lawyer for Castro for comment.
This is the first time the Department of Justice has charged an officer for conduct that occurred on-duty during the highly-publicized operations nationwide. Local prosecutors in Minnesota had already charged Castro with second-degree assault and with making a false report earlier this year.
The Justice Department is still considering whether to bring civil rights charges against Castro, one of the sources said.

据多位知情人士透露,一名移民和海关执法局特工因就今年早些时候枪击一名委内瑞拉移民腿部的事件经过撒谎而被联邦政府起诉。
针对美国移民及海关执法局官员克里斯蒂安·卡斯特罗的指控尚未公开,但一位知情人士告诉 CNN,他面临多项作伪证的指控。
CNN试图联系卡斯特罗的律师以获取评论。
这是司法部首次就警员在全国范围内备受瞩目的执法行动中执勤期间的行为提起诉讼。今年早些时候,明尼苏达州地方检察官已指控卡斯特罗犯有二级攻击罪和虚假报告罪。
消息人士称,司法部仍在考虑是否对卡斯特罗提起侵犯公民权利的指控。
此事件仍在发展中,我们将持续更新报道。
