Brutal Arrest Raises Questions

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón claims ICE agents yanked him from a vehicle, slammed him down, and beat him with a baton – an incident that’s now under investigation by the FBI and St. Paul police.

What Happened

It’s a pretty damning accusation, and one that’s got a lot of people asking some tough questions about ICE’s tactics. Mondragón says the agents involved in the arrest used excessive force, which won’t surprise anyone who’s been paying attention to the recent string of controversies surrounding the agency.

The fact that Mondragón ended up with skull fractures is just the tip of the iceberg – it’s the latest in a long line of incidents that suggest a serious lack of accountability within ICE.
