Justice Delayed, Justice Denied: The DOJ's Double Standard on Immigration Agents The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been accused of shielding its own agents from accountability after blocking plans to bring civil rights charges against an ICE agent who shot a Venezuelan immigrant.
On closer inspection, this incident reveals a disturbing pattern where the department prioritizes protecting its own interests over upholding the rule of law.
In 2017, Christian Castro, an ICE agent, allegedly shot Julio Cesar Sosa Celis in the leg during Operation Metro Surge, a Trump era immigration enforcement operation.
