A Mexican immigrant sustained severe head injuries in ICE custody in January 2026, sparking allegations of misconduct and racial profiling.
A Mexican immigrant, Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, was hospitalized in Minneapolis in January 2026 with multiple skull fractures and life‑threatening brain hemorrhages after being taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
ICE initially claimed he sustained the injuries by running headfirst into a brick wall while handcuffed, but medical staff at Hennepin County Medical Center said the severity and distribution of the fractures were inconsistent with that explanation.
His arrest on January 8 occurred near St. Paul, and court filings indicate he entered the U.S. legally in 2022 and had no criminal record.
Hospital staff raised concerns about ICE’s conduct and interference with care, and a federal judge later ordered his release from custody.
Mondragón now faces a long recovery with significant memory loss.
