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.
The literacy crisis isn’t just about people struggling to read words. It’s about losing the ability to understand context, infer meaning, question information, and form your own conclusions. And relying on AI to do all that thinking for us is only making the problem worse.
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology
People don't understand that he was a fixer, they think he was just a sex trafficker.
The deal was Epstein could get you anything, including kids. The pedophilia is probably the most heinous thing but I think a lot of despicable and illegal things are being ignored because people are only on the lookout for the pedophilia. I'm sure there's the boring illegal stuff you'd expect, like mountains of cocaine, but there's also likely to be trafficking of adults, and even things like murder for hire at play here.
Epstein Island is being characterized as the place you go to have sex with kids, but it should probably be characterized as the place you go where there's no laws because you're rich.
Teacher posts video of mold destroying everything she paid for in her classroom… and gets fired for it.
A teacher came back from summer break to find her entire classroom covered in mold.
Her chair. Her ottoman. Picture frames. Posters. Books she kept neat all year. All ruined because there was no AC running in the building over the summer.
She said it out loud: teachers are the ones funding these classrooms in the first place, and they do not get paid enough for this.
Then the video got taken down. And according to multiple posts circulating, she was fired for sharing it.
She was not complaining about the school’s budget. She was showing the damage to items she paid for with her own money so kids would have a decent classroom.
This is the system. Teachers spend their own paychecks to make rooms livable, then face consequences for documenting when the building itself is unsafe.
Parents deserve to know what their kids are walking into. Teachers should not lose their jobs for saying it.
The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.
Males think they're brave enough to fight a gorilla but in reality they’re not even brave enough to tell their friend to stop making women uncomfortable.
