In more news from Minnesota, a Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during his arrest by ICE last month has described harrowing details of his ordeal. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says he was violently pulled from a friend’s car outside a St. Paul shopping center by four masked men, thrown to the ground, handcuffed, then punched and struck in the head by a steel baton. He says he was then dragged into an SUV and taken to an ICE jail inside the Whipple Federal Building, where he says he was beaten again. Castañeda Mondragón’s injuries are inconsistent with ICE officers’ claims to the nurses who treated him that he “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
