Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents initially claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall,” according to court documents filed by a lawyer seeking his release.

But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the 31-year-old’s brain, said three nurses familiar with the case.

    Can we stop with the ragebait? The incredibly, over the top obvious difference in outrage between cases is whether it’s on video or not. Why the fuck do people keep pushing this angle? Why are you pretending like video evidence doesn’t matter? It’s fucking weird, at best.

      I’m pretty convinced that Lemmy’s politics board is thoroughly compromised. Constant deluge of posters intent on spreading a sense of doom and fear.

      I tag them and never see them again.

          Lemmy connect app lets you tag users. Super useful.

          I usually tag belligerent people, and block them if I see them do it again

        I’m starting to think this also. Literally every day I see some dipshit claiming that no one cared about ICE until it was a white person (they say that about both of the recent cases). Literally have never gotten one response (from the person claiming it’s only a race thing) to my replies saying it’s because these killings were on video. It’s fucking bizarre.
