Episode Details

Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, a California man, was shot by ICE agents during a traffic stop, leaving him with multiple bullet wounds. Despite initial claims of him being an Eighteenth Street gang member wanted for murder in El Salvador, the Justice Department dropped these allegations. The incident, which involved Hernandezs car reversing and jumping a median, has raised questions about who fired first. Hernandezs lawyer argues that the FBI complaint lacks direct statements from the agents involved and ignores key witnesses. Hernandez, who lacks legal status but has no gang ties, faces up to twenty years in prison, leaving his two-year-old daughters life upended. The incident follows a pattern of assault cases against people shot by immigration officers, with recent dismissals and acquittals in the Los Angeles area.
