A Mexican is suing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for holding him in solitary confinement and mistreating him for five months. Mississippi police arrested Fernando Figueroa-Barajas in September on a traffic violation. Figueroa says ICE agents shackled three parts of his body and beat him until he bled profusely from the face. After realizing the severity of his injuries, Figueroa said agents wrongly placed him on suicide watch, allowing them to hold him for five months.
