Officers said he ‘got his shit rocked’ but have largely refused to explain how he fractured his skull while in custody, judge says

A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a Mexican man from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in Minnesota after he suffered “life-threatening” head injuries after his arrest.

A man identified in court documents as Alberto C.M., who entered the country legally on a temporary worker visa in 2022, was hospitalized with skull fractures and brain hemorrhages shortly after his arrest in St. Paul during Donald Trump’s surge of immigration enforcement officers in the state.

The cause of his injuries is still unknown. ICE has “largely refused to provide information” about what happened, except to say that he “he got his s*** rocked,” according to the judge.

    The cause of his injuries is still unknown. According to the lawsuit, officers told hospital staff that he was “laying down in handcuffs when he attempted to flee, and then, for unknown reasons, purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

    And I’ll bet those officers had a hard time keeping a straight face while they spouted that bullshit too. Considering what has been happening on the streets in plain view of God and everyone, I shudder to think of what is happening to these people when ICE gets them behind closed doors.

      I’m willing to bet this is either a lie or the unknown reason is an ice agent shoving him into the brick wall

        Or a bunch of ICE Apes picked him up and used his head like a battering ram against the wall.

        Ah, bullshit, someone just beat him in the head with a club. Or kicked him with steel-toed boots.
