The FBI and St. Paul police are investigating an ICE arrest on January 8th that resulted in severe injuries to Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, a Mexican citizen. Castañeda Mondragón alleges ICE agents beat him, causing eight skull fractures. ICE claims he injured himself by falling while trying to flee. Medical professionals dispute ICE's explanation, stating the injuries are inconsistent with a fall. Investigators have canvassed the shopping center parking lot where the arrest occurred, seeking surveillance footage, but some footage may have been overwritten. This investigation occurs alongside another federal investigation into ICE officers accused of perjury in a separate Minneapolis case.
