US EditionJudge rules man shot by ICE in California must stay in federal custody
Judge Dale Drozd cited flight risk and dashcam footage as prosecutors said the 36-year-old was charged with felony assault on an immigration officer.
- On Monday, U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of California Judge Dale Drozd ordered Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez to remain in federal custody, denying a $50,000 bond due to flight risk concerns.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot Hernandez seven times during an enforcement stop in Patterson, about 75 miles southeast of San Francisco, after he allegedly reversed his vehicle toward an officer on April 7.
- Attorney Patrick Kolasinski argued Hernandez panicked rather than intending to assault the agent, noting his client was acquitted of murder in El Salvador in 2019 and denying gang membership allegations.
- U.S. Attorney Jason Hitt argued for continued detention, citing a positive cocaine test, tattoos consistent with an 18th Street Gang, and a five-year prison sentence in El Salvador for "aggravated extortion" in 2010.
- Hernandez remains in the custody of federal marshals while undergoing surgeries for multiple gunshot wounds, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 5.
