MINNEAPOLIS (AP) โ Alberto Castaรฑeda Mondragรณn says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.
But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.
He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendโs car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.
He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man โpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.โ
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnโt remember he had a daughter.

Deadly ICE Tactics Demand Immediate Congressional Oversight
Text SIGN PWDJOS to 50409 โ ICE ENFORCEMENT HAS TURNED DEADLY AND DEMANDS URGENT OVERSIGHT
As your constituent, I urge you to immediately bring ICE and DHS operations under firm control and halt the current enforcement surge in Minnesota and Maine until Congress can verify lawful rules of engagement, adequate training, and real accountability.
On January 24, 2026, federal officials reported that a U.S. Border Patrol officer fatally shot a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident believed by local authorities to be a U.S. citizen. Earlier this month, on January 7, an ICE agent shot and killed Renรฉe Good in Minneapolis.
These were not remote border encounters. They were domestic law-enforcement actions carried out in American cities, with lethal consequences.
LACK OF CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK
Repeated shootings tied to immigration enforcement now reflect a systemic failure of oversight, not a series of unfortunate anomalies. Immigration enforcement does not exist outside the Constitution.
Federal agents operating in residential neighborhoods must comply with the Fourth Amendment, respect due process, and adhere to standards of proportionality and de-escalation consistent with domestic law enforcement. When enforcement surges are rushed, opaque, and poorly supervised, escalation becomes predictable rather than accidental.
The consequences extend well beyond the immediate victims. Communities subjected to aggressive ICE tactics withdraw from civic life, avoid reporting crimes, and disengage from local institutions.
Maine and Minnesota are already showing signs of this erosion of trust. Congress cannot allow federal agencies to normalize street-level operations that resemble paramilitary actions rather than accountable civil law enforcement.
IMMEDIATE CONGRESSIONAL MEASURES TO PREVENT FURTHER DEATHS
(1) Demand an immediate suspension of the current DHS/ICE surge operations in Minnesota and Maine pending an independent review of use-of-force policies, training standards, command authority, and body-camera requirements.
(2) Hold public oversight hearings and require DHS/ICE to produce full incident files, video footage, dispatch records, and after-action reports for the January 7, January 14, and January 24 Minneapolis shootings.
(3) Condition all DHS/ICE funding on enforceable statutory standards, including strict limits on warrantless stops, clear operational rules near homes and workplaces, mandatory de-escalation training, and discipline for violations.
(4) Require regular public reporting on complaints, civil-rights investigations, settlements, and disciplinary outcomes so Congress and the public can determine whether reforms are real, measurable, and sustained.
(5) Require DHS/ICE personnel to operate without masks or identification-obscuring combat gear, prohibit the use of unmarked vehicles, and mandate clearly visible names and ID numbers on uniforms and vehicles to ensure accountability and prevent impersonation or kidnapping.
Thank you.

a mostly hairless chihuahua sits in the passenger seat of a car and looks over at the driver/photographer with football-shaped glassy eyes. her ears are tucked back away from view, which gives the random sprigs of hair on her eyebrows and ears a chance to stand out from her smooth skull.
an overhead view of the top of thistleโs head. there are a half dozen (ok, eleven at MOST) scraggly white hairs all coaxed toward her back, presumably for maximum aerodynamic efficiency.
a side angle closeup of thistleโs hairs: thin white strands grow from their roots between thistleโs ears, mostly hovering over her grayish elephant skin. one statement hair swoops up above the rest at a jaunty angle, but is still aligned directionally with its mates.
This is Thistle. She's having a great hair day. All five of them are going in the same direction. 12/10 (IG: thistlethegremlin)

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
