NorCal Man Shot by ICE Agents Charged with Assault, DOJ States
The complaint says Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez struck an agent and reversed into an ICE vehicle after officers pulled him over.
- On Tuesday, federal prosecutors charged Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon following his April 7 shooting by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in California.
- ICE agents targeted Hernandez near Patterson, California, citing his lack of legal status; prosecutors allege he drove toward officers, while attorney Patrick Kolasinski claims his client panicked after being blocked.
- Hernandez was shot seven times, including in the face, and underwent four surgeries, his attorney said. Kolasinski notes Hernandez was acquitted of murder in El Salvador in 2019, contradicting ICE's gang-member characterization.
- Magistrate Judge Allison Claire ordered Hernandez released on a $50,000 bond, citing his lack of a U.S. criminal record; prosecutors secured a 48-hour 'stay' on his release pending further review.
- Hernandez remains in federal custody with his next court appearance scheduled for May 5, while his legal team prepares to address a separate ICE hold on his case.
