The Conservative Cave

He sounds like your average liberal democrat. Nothing radical about him at all. I don't understand what people are getting worked up about. We need to support all democrats in November. None of them are perfect on every issue but at least they are not trying to destroy our democracy.

Surprise: Federal Court Slaps Down Walz Over ICE Agent Extradition

The case does involve serious allegations against Castro, however:


Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Decided to 'Mess With Texas' — and He Just Lost

ICE agent accused of shooting immigrant, coverup released from jail, following ruling

Walz's minions are claiming that Castro fled MN to escape justice. IRL, Castro had been posted and living in TX, was temporarily deployed to MN, and ICE called Castro back to TX. This ruling has nothing to do with the merits of the case against Castro (which looks weak and/or over-charged), and he may eventually face trial in MN. What got squashed by this court ruling was Walz's anti-ICE theater of claiming Castro was a fugitive from justice.

Well, my my my. ICE agent Christian Castro's reprieve turned out to be more temporary than first thought. And suddenly, a key talking point for Tim Walz and leftist activists has also dissipated.

Castro avoided extradition last week when a federal judge ruled that Greg Abbott did not abuse his discretion in reviewing Walz' request at length, so to speak. At that time, I argued that jurisdiction over Castro's actions in Operation Metro Surge belonged to the Department of Justice and federal courts. Any attempt by Walz, Keith Ellison, and Hennepin County DA Mary Moriarty would almost certainly get pre-empted by a removal motion, I noted.

Castro didn't have time to file that motion, it turns out. A federal grand jury has indicted the ICE agent for lying to federal investigators about the circumstances of the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis:
...
CBS News reports that the grand jury returned a six-count indictment. That may indicate that the DoJ will prosecute for the shooting itself and not just obstruction. The exact charges won't be known until Castro makes his first appearance, and right now, law enforcement is still trying to locate him:

Chunk Yogurt aka Cenk Uygur was loudly defending his crazed commie nephew, Hasan Piker when suddenly Karma struck and he experienced an embarrassing chair malfunction as you can see. However, in order to preserve poor Chunk's dignity we have taken that lemon experience and turned it into lemonade with this highly entertaining rendition of Chunk Yogurt performing Chunk Chair Cha-Cha.

2 people killed and suspect is dead in downtown Minneapolis shooting

From bits and pieces in the article, I'm going to infer:

* The perp was somewhere in the criminal--loud-mouthed-activist realm; if the former, possibly had felony charges reduced to obscure Minneapolis's crime problems;

* His(?) attack was planned, with multiple targets, possibly with smoke devices to hinder defense/avoidance;

* Prog pols have demanded tighter anti-gun laws, because such laws "work".

ETA: Per https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/09/horror-without-an-end.php , the guy was about to be evicted from Section 8 housing. $105 per month ... would that get an abandoned outhouse on the open market?

The man who killed two people and injured half a dozen others before turning the gun on himself in Minneapolis on Wednesday was facing eviction after committing assault and repeatedly threatening people with a gun at his apartment complex. People at the complex had even called police on him, but of course, he wasn’t in jail, because Minnesota often allows violent criminals to remain free while awaiting trial.

CBS News identified the alleged killer's name. The police chief in Minneapolis had acknowledged at a press conference that he was familiar with the shooter, indicating a prior crime history, but he did not state a name. CBS claims multiple law enforcement sources have since contacted the outlet to provide Johnson’s name. Alpha News claimed to have obtained Johnson’s eviction notice and stated that he had numerous crimes on his record dating back to 2011, including “domestic abuse, domestic assault, drug paraphernalia, and numerous citations for driving with a suspended license.” ...

The purported eviction notice lists a series of incidents instigated by Johnson dating back to January of this year, including a March assault on a fellow resident, a June visit to the office where he aggressively displayed his gun to staff, and another June incident where Johnson told multiple other people he was going to kill someone with his new gun.
