Family and Lawyer Dispute ICE's Gang Allegations in California Shooting Incident

Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, a 36-year-old undocumented immigrant, was shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Patterson, California. ICE claims Mendoza Hernandez was a 'wanted gang member' and attempted to run over officers with his vehicle, prompting them to open fire. However, Mendoza Hernandez's family and lawyer, Patrick Kolasinski, dispute these claims, asserting that he was wrongfully targeted based on incorrect information. They argue that Mendoza Hernandez was not involved in any gang activities and had been acquitted of charges in a previous case in El Salvador. The family is seeking answers about his current condition and whereabouts, as they have been unable to obtain information from the hospital or federal authorities.

Attorney Challenges ICE's Account in Shooting of Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez

An attorney representing Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, who was shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in California, disputes claims that Mendoza attempted to run over officers and that he has a warrant for his arrest in El Salvador. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that ICE agents fired in self-defense after Mendoza allegedly tried to drive into them during an enforcement stop in Patterson, California. Mendoza's attorney, Patrick Kolasinski, argues that his client has no criminal record in the U.S. and was acquitted of murder in El Salvador, thus no warrant should exist. The incident is part of a series of shootings under the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies.
