On January 8, 2026, ICE agents detained the 31-year-old Mexican construction worker in a St. Paul parking lot during a targeted operation; hours later at an ICE facility, he was found with devastating head injuries including multiple fractures and hemorrhages. Castañeda Mondragón claims masked agents beat him with a baton and used racist slurs, while ICE says he injured himself by fleeing while handcuffed and hitting a concrete barrier. Medical staff doubted ICE's account, citing CT scans inconsistent with a single fall, and a federal judge ordered his release after ruling the detention unlawful. The FBI and St. Paul police launched probes in mid-February, though much surveillance video was overwritten.
