Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, January 24, 2026

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. 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." ICE has "largely refused to provide information" about what happened, except to say that he "he got his s*** rocked," according to the judge.
