ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News the shooting unfolded after ICE agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, California, to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, a suspected 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder.

Hard to blame him with CECOT in his future. Surprised he would rather go to CECOT than die.
Hopefully he recovers enough to get put in that El Salvador prison.

Patch him up enough so he doesn’t bleed on the exiting deportation flight. Also, hit some turbulence on the way to Uganda.

Patterson is a farming community here in the Central Valley of California, not far from Modesto.
Here’s hoping.
Good work all around, ICE. Kudos to all the hard working agents rounding up and deporting the criminals.
