Takeaways From AP Report on ICE Claims that Immigrant Shattered His Skull Running Into Wall
Medical experts and hospital staff dispute ICE's claim about the cause of Alberto Castañeda Mondragón's head injuries, citing multiple skull fractures and brain hemorrhages inconsistent with an accidental fall.
- Earlier this month, a Mexican immigrant was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, after bones in his face and skull were broken while in federal custody; Immigration and Customs Enforcement initially said he `purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall` while handcuffed.
- Hospital officials say agents have been lingering on campus, restraining patients against rules and increasing tension with staff, since Operation Metro Surge began.
- A CT scan showed at least eight skull fractures and hemorrhages, while Dr. Lindsey C. Thomas and HCMC nurses said these injuries were inconsistent with a wall impact.
- On Saturday a U.S. District Court judge ordered his release from ICE custody, and on Wednesday, lawyers for the Justice Department filed that he is no longer in federal custody, with hospital security, the CEO, and attorney intervening to remove restraints and sit with him.
- His brother said the man is from Veracruz, has no family in Minnesota, supports a 10-year-old daughter, and HCMC staff using encrypted messaging report feeling intimidated by ICE agents.
