ICE Shooting in Patterson: Governor Seeks Federal-Local Cooperation

0:00ICE agents opened fire on a man in a car in rural Paterson, Northern California, on Tuesday, hitting Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez. Officials say he was a Los Angeles 18th Street gang member, wanted for questioning in a murder case back in El Salvador. He ended up in the hospital, but no word yet on his condition. Agents claim Hernandez tried to run one of them over by weaponizing his vehicle during a stop. They fired shots to defend themselves, fellow agents, and bystanders. Dashcam video shows the black sedan reversing into another car with its door open, then lurching forward toward the officers before peeling out across. The median, local sheriff's office confirmed no county deputies were involved, and the FBI is now investigating the shooting. Governor Gavin Newsom got briefed right away and wants federal agents to team up with state and local cops on this. This all hits amid heavy criticism of ICE operations, with arrest spiking 58% in California's Central Valley since early last year.

1:01Protests have popped up nationwide over clashes and claims of too much force. And ICE agents have shot at least eight people this year. Investigators are still piecing it together in Paterson, a farming town full of Latino families, so expect more updates as federal and local teams. Dig deeper. Local news. Power by AI.
