Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, a Mexican immigrant, suffered severe head injuries, including eight skull fractures and brain hemorrhages, while in the custody of United States===United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis. ICE initially claimed he ran headfirst into a brick wall, but medical staff at Hennepin County Medical Center deemed this inconsistent with his injuries. The incident led to friction between ICE agents and hospital staff, with accusations of patient mistreatment and intimidation. A U.S. District Court judge ordered Castañeda Mondragón's release from ICE custody.
