https://www.ktvu.com/news/ice-may-have-mistaken-man-shot-california-someone-else-attorneyMODESTO, Calif. - An attorney for the man shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in California's Central Valley believes his client was targeted on the basis of bad information, even though he was charged, and later acquitted, for murder in El Salvador.Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez was shot and injured on Tuesday near I-5 in Patterson, Calif., just outside of Modesto.The other side:Patrick Kolasinski, who is representing Hernandez and his fiancé, Cindy, held a news conference on Wednesday, stating that as far as he knows, his client has never been involved in any gang, as ICE alleged the day before.Kolasinski did acknowledge that Hernandez was charged – and then acquitted – of murder in El Salvador, which he obtained court documents for and shared with reporters. Hernandez was the only person acquitted of murder in that case, and therefore, there could be no way there could have been a warrant out for his arrest, his lawyer said. The documents also refer to the 36-year-old Hernandez by his nickname of "El Pana," which show his acquittal came in 2019, the same year he came to the United States. The word used in the document is "absuelto." "So if he was released after being acquitted with no other holds on him, he cannot have a warrant," Kolasinski said. "So that information must be either erroneous or completely made up, and only DHS knows what they're looking at."
Because Hernandez was actually originally involved in that murder case, Kolasinski also modified his earlier statements where he originally said the ICE shooting Tuesday about 6:30 a.m. along Interstate Highway 5 by ICE officers, appeared to be a case of mistaken identity. Possibly of note, Cindy mentioned that her boyfriend was stopped on Friday in Turlock by police for having a cracked windshield on her car. The police officers, he told her, were rude to him and took down all of his information. Cindy said she wonders if details about him were gathered that day and used by ICE. "I do believe probably the incident is coming from there," she said.There is no immediate evidence to indicate that Turlock police communicated anything with ICE, but California is a sanctuary state.Hernandez was injured in the shooting in Patterson, where he lives, and was taken to Doctor's Medical Center in Modesto. But his exact condition isn't known because his family hasn't been allowed to see him. Based on this new information about the murder acquittal, Kolasinski said it now looks like ICE got information that "doesn't add up." Hernandez is a dual citizen of El Salvador and Mexico. He has a 2-year-old daughter born in the United States with his American fiancé, Cindy, who didn't want her last name used. He works rehabbing fire-damaged homes. He was en route to the Bay Area for a job when he was shot. Kolasinski added that Hernandez's immigration status is unclear right now, as he hasn't been able to speak to his client. As far as Kolasinski knows, Hernandez is not being detained by ICE. Kolasinski added that he is not even sure Hernandez is being held by anyone, or if he is even conscious in the hospital. He said he's been stonewalled on every front in trying to find out information, adding that he would like to "resolve this in a sane and rational way."

Kolasinski told KTVU he was retained Tuesday about 5 p.m. – roughly eight hours after the shooting – and has been scrambling to get details ever since. What they're saying:ICE did not respond to Kolasinki's narrative, and referred all questions on Wednesday to the Department of Homeland Security, which didn't immediately respond for comment. But the lawyer's story seems to contradict at least some of what ICE put out following the shooting. In a statement, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said that officers were conducting a targeted operation, seeking Hernandez, whom they called an 18th Street gang member from El Salvador who they wanted to question in connection with a murder, which they didn't elaborate on. ICE never stated it had a warrant for Hernandez's arrest, or that he committed a murder; only that he was wanted for questioning for one. Lyons emphasized in his statement that ICE officers shot at Hernandez because he "weaponized his vehicle" and drove at the officers. The FBI is now investigating the shooting. A motorist provided dashcam video showing one angle of what happened.Different people see the video in different ways, although it is clear that Hernandez was trying desperately to evade law enforcement. What the video shows is officers standing with Hernandez on the side of the road, when at some point, he backs up his small black car and then puts it into drive, making a hard left to conduct a U-turn across the center median. One officer is seen hopping out of the way. At least two of the officers have weapons drawn, pointing at the car. The video has no sound, and it's unclear when the shots were fired and if words were said.While ICE said the car was "weaponized," Kolasinski said when he watched the video, all he thought of was Renee Good, the woman killed by ICE in Minneapolis while driving away in her car.
Hernandez is doing everything he can to back away, Kolansinksi said, adding that he's not advocating for people to evade police."It's natural for him to try to flee," he said. "It's a human reaction." The problem is the training that ICE officers receive, Kolasinksi said, and the fear ICE has instilled among many nationwide. The California Highway Patrol conducts dangerous stops all the time and they don't shoot people like that, Koansinksi said. "ICE's own training puts the community in danger," he said.
If someone jumps in front of my car and points a gun at me I’m probably going to try and run them over. I don’t know for sure, never been in that situation, but I think it’s the best chance for survival, maybe do a little controlled double swerve so he loses his aim and just floor it
>>1504611This happened during BLM and drivers were convicted for doing this same thing.
and Democrats wonder why they lose elections.
>>1504679That's because you're not allowed to protect yourself from rioting leftists. Notice how everyone who did in 2020 was charged with a crime?
>>1504679>This happened during BLM and drivers were convicted for doing this same thing.1. The driver in question shot their victim.2. Their victim wasn't in front of their vehicle or brandishing a weapon.3. The driver in question literally wrote beforehand that he was going out to kill protesters.4. The driver in question literally drove into a crowd of protesters.5. The driver in question got a pardon.6. Shut your whore mouth, you disingenuous, lying sack of shit.
>>1504679>during BLMYou mean the Boogaloo Riots?
>>1504685>The driverThere was more than one person this happened to anon. And Daniel Perry shot a guy who flagged him with a rifle while he was surrounded by an angry mob.Here's another fun story.>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10265035/NYC-woman-hit-BLM-protestors-rejects-plea-deal-favor-trial.htmlEverybody supporting BLM during that summer was tacitly supporting anti-white lynch mobs. I hope ICE goes harder.
>>1504690>>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10265035/NYC-woman-hit-BLM-protestors-rejects-plea-deal-favor-trial.htmlYeah so fun fact; this woman ultimately took a plea deal and apologized. Turns out she actually hit tons of people literally facing away from her and was absolutely at fault.
>>1504690You're next, whitey
>>1504679Liar
>>1504685>4. The driver in question literally drove into a crowd of protesters.I see you're still pushing this lie.
>>1504792Bitch all you want, dude was convicted. In Texas.
>>1504804Lie all you want, I'll be here to correct you again and again. He didn't drive into a crowd of protesters. In fact, his car didn't make contact with a single person as he was slowly turning right at the intersection and immediately stopping because there was a crowd of retards standing in the road.If you're going to go with that standard that he 'literally drove into a crowd of protesters' then that means the shooting of Renee Good was 100 and 10% justified. She at least made contact with her vehicle and another person while driving away - unlike Perry.
>>1504692Contrary to what leftist lawmakers may tell you, a lynch mob does actually constitute a threat against your life.
>>1504808>She at least made contact with her vehicleNo she didn't lmao.Also, intent matters; his own texts showed outright his only reason for being there was to have an excuse to kill someone.
>>1504808See>>1504804>Bitch all you want, dude was convicted. In Texas.
>>1504934>No she didn't lmao.Yeah she did lmao.>Also, intent matters; his own texts showed outright his only reason for being there was to have an excuse to kill someone.Yeah his texts that weren't specific to that street he was allegedly (((driving into a crowd of protesters))) at? That he had no idea would even be there? A vague text about having to shoot retard Antifags because they're going around vandalizing, assaulting, shooting, and killing Americans?Let me demonstrate how retarded you are with this stance:Ahem... "If any BLM/Antifa cocksucker tries this shit in my state and wants to pull me out of my car I'm going to magdump the faggots."Now go ahead and use that quote in my trial six months from now when some lefty faggot points an AK-47 at me and I have to cap his ass before he shoots me.>>1504942>>Bitch all you want, dude was convicted. In Texas.In a trial where the prosecution allowed for the jury to be tainted, with one of the jurors sharing details about the case before the trial even started and none of them were dismissed.
>>1504997>...when some lefty faggot points an AK-47 at me and I have to cap his ass before he shoots me. I masturbate to the idea of killing people 'defending' myself because I'm a giant faggot with no sense of control over my own pathetic life. I'm an emotionally stunted little bitch. My arsenal helps me feel better about my micropenis.>that means the shooting of Renee Good was 100 and 10% justified. 110%. That's how a native English speaker would write that, unless they were so fucking stupid they had to spell things phonetically, which... oh yeah, checks out.> A vague text about having to shoot retard Antifags because they're going around vandalizing, assaulting, shooting, and killing Americans?Antifags? So THAT's why you hate them so much.
>>1504998>waaaaah this dumb boomer said some stupid 'don't mess with Texas' meme posts on social media a month ago, what do you mean that isn't proof?!?Cry harder faggot.
>>1505001>Impotent seething
>>1505003>implyinglol. Perry is free and Foster is dead.
>>1504470Democrats and liberals have really fucked the entire world over, haven't they? Here's someone who is likely a hitman for a cartel, casually strolling into this country and doing cartel activities, and every blue politician, judge, and voter is saying he dindu nuffin and ignore the fact that he shouldn't have been allowed in with connections to cartel activity period. >Hernandez and his fiancé, Cindy,Oh cool and soon he'll squirt out a few Anchor babies as well! Proud americans just like you and me, maybe he can teach them to give them an el salvador necklace just like he did to those people he killed in the country he shouldn't have been allowed to leave.This is literal asymmetric warfare against the poor. If anyone did the same thing who was a citizen in our country, the entirety of the legal system would stomp them with a 30 ton boot and they would get next to zero representation. Mob hitman in another country which never built a functioning boat that could leave its shores, a functioning bank which could fund its industry, or a functioning government who could create a safe population, gets a plane ticket using tools white people gave him to fly to a white country and start shit.And this is happening literally everywhere, and nobody cares. Fuck poor people, we only care about poor IMMIGRANT people, that's the democrat way. Republicans, meanwhile, only care about poor Jewish people.
>>1504998>>1504997The fact two Americans, one probably much browner than the other, need to have this argument is proof the system has failed already. We can't even agree that murder is bad because none of the flood coming in also think that. In their countries, a child can be raised from cradle to school for less than it costs to purchase a used car, and all of them can buy plane tickets and fly over here to start shit with our federal agencies for less than it costs for a native American couple to put one kid through college. And one of you thinks that's a bad thing, the other thinks that's a good thing. The reality is that this conversation shouldn't be happening, period. They were allowed in by a white person in the loop somewhere which gave them the means to come here. Your beef is with them.
