US EditionMan shot by ICE in California has been arrested by the FBI, attorney says
His lawyer said he was discharged from the hospital into FBI custody without notice after three surgeries for gunshot wounds.
- On Monday, the FBI arrested Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, 36, immediately after his discharge from Doctors Medical Center in Modesto, attorney Patrick Kolasinski reported, saying his client was transported in a "paddywagon."
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot Mendoza seven times on April 7 during an enforcement stop near Patterson, California; the Department of Homeland Security claims he "weaponized" his vehicle, while Kolasinski alleges agents fired first.
- Documents from El Salvador show Mendoza was acquitted of murder in 2019, and Kolasinski argued the patient "was in no condition" to be released from the ICU without assistance.
- Although FBI agents took Hernandez to Sacramento County Jail, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office confirmed he will not be housed there, and federal authorities have not disclosed specific charges.
- Dashcam footage and witness testimony from Christina suggest early-morning gunfire occurred near civilian traffic, raising scrutiny over the incident as no specific charges have yet been filed.
