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.
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.

A Left vs YIMBY fight within Mamdani ’s base was <inevitable> This is why Zohran did not admit to supporting REBNY backed ballot measures until Election Day 🗳️ He had the ^ same position as Cuomo ^ but would not admit it when @errollouis.bsky.social pressed him in the final debate ⬇️

NYC media did not make enough of the racist xenophobic & dangerously defamatory attacks Zohran Mamdani endured throughout the 2025 mayoral debates In large part because many of those same outlets have facilitated such attacks < this entire campaign >

I want to do a little breakdown of this investigation I published today for @prismreports.org about gender-based violence in the H-2A agricultural visa program.
prismreports.org
She managed to get a farmworker visa. Once in the U.S., she endured abuse.
A Prism investigation reveals that women are routinely shut out of the H-2A program. Those who get in report doing non-agricultural labor and facing sexual violence and trafficking

Today marks *1 year* since Israeli forces killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi. Her family has heard nothing from Biden & Trump admins, and Israel. State Dept. told us it has “no higher priority” than US citizens — but then referred us to Israel for info on Israel’s killing of the US citizen.

Someday we will deeply interrogate the weaponized expectation of gratitude for authority figures who believe you owe them for not killing you YET. It’s like the person holding a blade to your throat being annoyed that you’re complaining about bleeding instead of thanking them for not cutting deeper.
