ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

“It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” said one of the nurses, who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss patient care. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.”

They should be barred from hospitals. They're obstructing treatment.

From the Epstein Files that were released but then hidden again by the DOJ:

“Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children’s vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness,” the complaint reads.


If that isn't the only thing we care about then we have already given up and given in as a nation.

Lying about injuries sustained by detainee's etc...

I'm afraid the union told them to keep quiet about it which is absolute BS-they should protect the nurses & patients!!!

"Staff told the Mercury in December that ICE and US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents seemingly landed on Legacy Emanuel as the “go to” place to take people after they detained them, often after they injure people during violent arrests. Nurses said the hospital allowed agents to stay with patients while they received treatment, which disrupted patient care, including in medically harmful ways."
