He told us the pursuit began as a car chase.

Castro claimed that Sosa Salis and the other man had attacked the agents with a snow shovel, and he fired his gun in self-defense.
voice-verified
On the basis of that story, Minneapolis federal prosecutors ended up charging the victim, Sosa Salis.

But video evidence contradicted the agent's version of events, and months later, federal prosecutors withdrew the charges.

But a conflict soon opened up within the DOJ between Matthew Evans, the U.S.
voice-verified
assistant attorney in Minnesota who was handling the case and other officials in the department.

Evans told Sosa Salis's lawyers that he wanted to bring civil rights charges against Castro, the agent, over the shooting, but that he was stopped by officials who only wanted to secure the lesser charges of lying about what happened.
voice-verified
Evans has now been fired.
voice-verified
Castro does face separate state charges related to the shooting itself, but authorities haven't been able to extradite him from Texas.

Congress has known about this problem for a long time, but as Wall Street Journal reporter Richard Rubin told us, they rarely act unless they're on a tight deadline.
voice-verified
Ruben told us why the nation's largest government program is facing insolvency and the conversations that Congress is finally starting to have about fixing it.
voice-verified
He says lawmakers understand that saving Social Security will not be easy, and because it's taken so long for them to act, some options that might have been available a few years ago will not make a dent today.

But Rubin says a few scattered bipartisan efforts to make progress on funding the program picked up this summer.

One proposal from Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Ohio Senator Bernie Marino would eliminate the cap on payroll taxes.
voice-verified
Wages are taxed at 12.4%, with half paid by the worker and the other half paid by the employer, but the tax stops at a certain point.
voice-verified
Warren and Marino say the cap is unfair because people with higher incomes pay a smaller percentage of taxes compared to people who earn less than the cap.
voice-verified
Now, the senators have not released a bill that outlines their idea in full or clarified if the plan would keep the current structure of Social Security in place.
