EXCLUSIVE: I've obtained a detailed account from the attorney representing Jose Mejia Hernandez, a man who says he was violently apprehended, hospitalized with a brain bleed, and held by ICE with almost no communication to his own family for three days.
On the morning of August 11, at around 6:30 a.m., Mejia Hernandez was walking to work when a truck sped up on him and two men jumped out and ran toward him. Scared and not knowing who they were, he ran. While fleeing, he says he was hit with what he believes was a stun gun or Taser. He has no memory of anything after that, not how he was injured, not how he was transported, nothing, until he woke up in a hospital many hours later with serious facial injuries consistent with blunt force trauma.
According to his attorney, two ICE agents stayed at his bedside the entire time he was hospitalized. He was never given a private moment with his own doctors. When he asked the ICE agents what happened to him, they told him they didn't know. He says hospital staff seemed reluctant to speak openly in front of the agents, and that medical staff appeared to communicate more with ICE than with him directly. A nurse eventually told him quietly, in Spanish, that he'd suffered a brain bleed and brain swelling, but he says he never got a full explanation of his diagnosis or how he got hurt.
Meanwhile, his wife and stepchild had no idea where he was for about three days. Neither DHS nor the hospital, according to his lawyer, ever notified his family that he'd been detained, injured, or hospitalized.
When ICE decided to discharge him, he says he didn't even understand he was being released. He was driven from the hospital, given food and told to contact his family, then taken to an ICE office where they strapped a GPS ankle monitor on him and handed him a Notice to Appear.
By Friday he felt significantly worse and went back to the hospital, where he was again diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and brain bleed and stayed for two more days. His lawyer says doctors couldn't even complete the imaging they needed because of the ankle monitor. When he later went to his ISAP appointment still in pain, dizzy, with doctors saying he needed an MRI, ICE reportedly refused to remove the monitor unless he could produce a specific MRI appointment date and time, forcing him to bounce back and forth between the hospital and immigration offices just to get basic care while suffering from a brain injury.
His attorney is now demanding a full accounting: who was involved, what force was used, why his family wasn't notified, why ICE was reportedly more involved in his medical communications than he was, and preservation of every record, custody log, and communication tied to this case. Mejia Hernandez still needs an MRI and further evaluation for a serious neurological injury.
That black Cambridge professor story is so insane. He was formally accused investigated and cleared of plagiarism, and his phd was confirmed; and then resigned after *another* inquiry was pushed by a literal race scientist when his own employment wasn't renewed?
Luigi Mangione is going to serve the rest of his life in prison because he admittedly killed someone. No one in a healthcare company serves a minute in prison for the lives they take or ruin for refusing healthcare to people who need it. They are equally is guilty as Mangione.
Insurance executives admitted they intentionally denied Forrest VanPatten's cancer treatment claim even though it was illegal due to laws forcing insurers to approve cancer treatments. Forrest died before being told this&not a single exec was ever charged
