Man Shot by ICE, Denies Gang Ties

0:00A judge in Sacramento just ruled that Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez has to stay locked up, citing him as a flight risk after immigration agents shot, him multiple times during an arrest in central California. This all went down on April 7th when ice poured him over, blocked his car, and he allegedly hit an agent before reversing into another vehicle. Leading to the assault charge, dude holds dual citizenship from El Salvador and Mexico. His lawyer, Patrick Colisinski, says Mendoza just panicked and bolted without meaning to hurt anyone, and he's undergone several surgeries to recover. From those gunshot wounds, officials called him a suspected gang member, wanted for a murder back in El Salvador, but court docs there prove he was acquitted, and he flat out. Denies any gang ties. Next court dates set for early May, so we'll see if this custody call holds or if new evidence shifts the game. Stay tuned for updates. Durham News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters.
