Minnesota and federal authorities are investigating an alleged beating of a Mexican citizen by immigration officers last month. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who suffered eight skull fractures, claims that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beat him while he was handcuffed and thrown to the ground. However, ICE has blamed Castañeda Mondragón for his injuries, stating that he attempted to flee and fell against a concrete wall. Investigators from the St. Paul Police Department and FBI are seeking surveillance footage from local businesses to determine what occurred during the January 8 arrest. The incident has raised concerns about racial profiling, with Castañeda Mondragón's lawyers claiming that ICE targeted him due to his ethnicity. An investigation is ongoing to identify the cause of Castañeda Mondragón's injuries.
