FBI, Police Probe ICE Arrest That Left Man With Eight Skull Fractures

Alberto Castaneda Mondragon, a Mexican citizen, was arrested by ICE agents in a shopping center parking lot in St. Paul. He says agents pulled him from a vehicle, threw him to the ground, and repeatedly struck him with a steel baton. A CT scan showed fractures to the front, back, and both sides of his skull. ICE claims he "fell and hit his head against a concrete wall," but hospital staff told the AP such a fall could not plausibly account for the brain hemorrhaging. The FBI and St. Paul police are now investigating. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses was overwritten before investigators requested it.
