Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension

And this is prompting changes to how these cases are being investigated.

A new 81-page document from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension gives officers and other responders tools and best practices for handling sexual assault cases.

From conducting interviews, sample collecting techniques, to gathering and handling evidence, it also gives guidelines on how to interact with victim survivors, which includes listening to them and respecting their choices.

Advocates working with victim survivors in hospitals, like Brianna Heisterkamp with Hennepin Healthcare, say the guide offers something crucial.

Okay.

So what he's saying here, what Kash Patel took a long time to get around to saying is that if you were trafficked, like a victim of sex trafficking and forced into bestiality, you're not disqualified from working at the FBI, which begs the question, Andy, are there throngs of people that were sex trafficked into bestiality that are trying to apply for jobs at the Bureau and, and, If there aren't, why do you need to change the whole rule for it? I mean, if memory serves, you can get like an individual waiver for something unless, I mean, it's an automatic disqualification.

I mean, of course.

So this all felt to me watching the testimony like this is Patel constructing some sort of after the fact rationalization for a really big PR mess that he, you know, this is an own goal, right? Self-inflicted wound.

And of that population, you then winnow it down to those trafficking victims who were forced into acts of bestiality.

I defy you to go through all the applications we received in the last decade and show me any one.

So, no, I'd never heard of anything about this in all my time in the Bureau.

And I did spend a fair amount of time working with our HR folks and our training folks on issues like hiring, recruiting, standards, how we were filling classes or not, that sort of thing.

Minnesota law enforcement arrested the ICE agent Wednesday in the shooting of the Venezuelan immigrant in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge, culminating months of delays and legal maneuvers in efforts to bring him to the state to answer for his crimes.

Christian Castro, who's 52, was stopped by agents with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in a traffic stop near his attorney's office in Minneapolis and taken to the Hennepin County Jail, where he's currently being held.

That means they were staking him out, 'cause remember G- Governor Abbott wouldn't extradite him?

Yep.

That court hearing is set for, as we record this, about one hour from right now, Thursday afternoon.

According to the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, ICE agent Christian Castro was arrested by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Wednesday on state charges.

As previously reported, Castro accused of shooting at Julio Sosa Salas through the door of a North Minneapolis home on January 14th in the course of his duties as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
