An AP report details the case of Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, a Mexican immigrant who alleges he was severely beaten by ICE officers during his January 8, 2026 arrest in St. Paul, Minnesota. Castañeda Mondragón claims ICE agents pulled him from a car, threw him to the ground, handcuffed him, and then punched and struck him with a baton. He further alleges he was beaten again at a detention facility, resulting in eight skull fractures and five brain hemorrhages. Despite the Trump administration's focus on deporting immigrants with criminal records, Castañeda Mondragón has no criminal history. His case highlights concerns about excessive force used by ICE, leaving detainees with lasting injuries even when deportation is avoided.
