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.

Key Takeaway

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón woke up in the hospital with eight skull fractures and brain bleeds so bad he forgot his own daughter. Now, conflicting stories from him and ICE have sparked investigations by the FBI and local police.

In a 2023 speech at the AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry highlighted agriculture's 33% share of global emissions and called for innovations like precision farming and better fertilizers to reduce methane without cutting food production.
