I don't really think you should attribute Americans as being as stupid as NOEM apparently thinks we are. She needs to be gone. It's an insult to anybody with over a 60 IQ. HELL NO: Hospital staff is going viral for RIPPING apart ICE for nearly killing a man and saying he "ran into a wall". Kristi Noem's immigration agents walked a brutally injured man into a Minneapolis hospital and told staff he did it to himself. They claimed Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, handcuffed, “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” Intensive care nurses immediately knew that was a lie. “It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about,” one nurse said. “There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall.” Alberto didn’t have a bump or a bruise. He had broken bones across his face and skull. CT scans showed at least EIGHT skull fractures. Bleeding in five areas of his brain. Life threatening hemorrhages. Nurses said the injuries were so severe that no accidental fall or impact could explain them. “I am pretty sure a person could not get these kinds of extensive injuries from running into a wall,” said Dr. Lindsey C. Thomas, a board-certified forensic pathologist with more than 30 years of experience. "One doesn’t have to be a physician to conclude that a person can’t get skull fractures on both the right and left sides of their head and from front to back by running themselves into a wall,” she said. ICE’s story kept changing. One officer later told hospital staff Alberto “got his (expletive) rocked” after his arrest. Another version quietly dropped the wall story and admitted only that he had “a head injury that required emergency medical treatment.” When Alberto was brought in, he was so disoriented he didn’t know what year it was. He couldn’t remember how he was hurt. Nurses explained he was suffering from a traumatic brain injury. “This is how someone with a traumatic brain injury is — they’re impulsive,” one said. “We didn’t think he was making a run for the door.” ICE still tried to shackle his ankles to the hospital bed. This happened inside a public hospital. Armed federal agents stayed at his bedside for days. Staff said ICE restrained patients against hospital rules, loitered around the campus, and pressured people for proof of citizenship. Nurses were so intimidated they avoided certain hallways and used encrypted messaging out of fear they were being monitored. All of this unfolded during Trump’s Operation Metro Surge, part of the same immigration regime where Trump praised “rough” arrests, told officers not to be “too nice,” and called immigrants criminals and animals. This is the culture he built, and this is what it looks like when no one is watching. Alberto told staff he was “dragged and mistreated by federal agents.” Hours after his arrest, he was barely responsive. Days later, he was heavily sedated, confused, and fighting for his life. He has no criminal record. He entered the U.S. with valid documents. He started a construction company in St. Paul. He has a 10-year-old daughter he supports back home. “He’s left with a bad taste in your mouth about that country because they’re treating them like animals,” his brother said. ICE didn’t respond to questions. The Justice Department stayed silent about his injuries. Only after a federal judge stepped in was Alberto finally RELEASED. This is why they lie. This is why they intimidate witnesses. This is why they want to do this quietly. If nurses hadn’t spoken up, this would have disappeared. So do something Congress before we turn into Russia and just like Trump's best friend. You were hired to protect us did you forget?
