Nurses in the intensive care unit of a Minneapolis hospital immediately cast doubt on ICE agents' claim that Mexican immigrant Alberto Castañeda Mondragón escaped while handcuffed and intentionally rammed his head into a brick wall[1][2]. The man had broken bones in his face and skull, including at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening bleeding in at least five areas of the brain, as shown by a CT scan[1][2]. Four hours after his arrest, he was taken to the emergency room in Edina with swelling and bruising around his right eye and bleeding, then transferred to HCMC[1][2]. ICE insisted on handcuffing his legs to the bed, leading to a tense confrontation with medical personnel[1][2]. The patient was disoriented, did not know what year it was, and had no recollection of the injury; nurses explained that impulsivity is typical of traumatic brain injury[1][2]. Security, the CEO of the hospital and a lawyer came to the scene, and they negotiated in the doctor's office looking for a solution[1][2]. Castañeda Mondragón has significant memory loss, a long convalescence and will not be able to work; he has no family in Minnesota[2].
