MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón 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 friend’s 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 “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
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 couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.
NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

IF YOU ARE USING UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS' TAX RECORDS TO FIND AND KIDNAP THEM, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM PAYING TAXES.
IF YOU ARE SHOWING UP AT THEIR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM NOT WORKING.
IF YOU ARE SHOWING UP AT COURTHOUSES, THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT GETTING THEM TO "DO IT THE RIGHT WAY*.
IF YOU ARE KIDNAPPING WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
THEN IT WAS NEVER ABOUT CRIMINALS.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down...

Hi Grok. If someone suffers internal bleeding in the torso due to a car hitting them, would they likely be discharged the same day from the hospital, or would they have to likely stay overnight for observation at the minimum

No, someone with confirmed internal bleeding in the torso from a car accident would almost never be discharged the same day. In fact, they would typically require at least an overnight hospital stay for observation — and often much longer, depending on the severity.
Internal bleeding in the torso (such as from injuries to the spleen, liver, kidneys, or other abdominal/pelvic organs) is a serious medical emergency, even if the person appears stable initially. Trauma from a car accident often involves blunt force that can cause organ lacerations, hematomas, or vessel damage, leading to bleeding that may not be immediately obvious but can worsen over hours.Key Reasons for Hospital Admission and ObservationRisk of delayed or worsening bleeding — Symptoms or significant blood loss can appear hours or even days later, potentially leading to shock, hemodynamic instability, or the need for emergency intervention (e.g., surgery or embolization).
Standard trauma protocols — Patients undergo imaging (like CT scans or FAST ultrasound), serial blood tests (to monitor hemoglobin/hematocrit), vital sign monitoring, and clinical exams. Guidelines emphasize admission for hemodynamically stable patients with suspected or confirmed torso bleeding.
Even in "mild" or non-operative cases — For common injuries like lower-grade splenic lacerations (often managed without surgery), current recommendations suggest:At least 1 day of observation for low-grade injuries.
2–3 days (or more) for higher-grade ones, with monitoring in a higher-dependency unit if needed.
Surgical or severe cases — If active bleeding requires intervention, hospital stays extend significantly (often days to weeks), with risks of complications like infection or re-bleeding.
Same-day discharge might only occur in very minor trauma cases with no evidence of internal bleeding after thorough evaluation (negative scans, stable labs, no symptoms). But if internal bleeding is actually present or even strongly suspected from the mechanism of injury, discharge the same day would be highly unusual and generally unsafe.If this relates to a real situation, always follow medical advice from professionals — trauma care is highly individualized based on scans, stability, and other factors. Stay safe!
Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso.
Even Grok knows that.
LOL.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
