"We're in shock. He should not be out of that hospital. He was in no condition to be released."
"Mendoza was having difficulty speaking because he was shot in the jaw, but that he insisted he was never a member of a gang."
"Federal authorities haven't said why Mendoza was the target of an enforcement action."
Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez was shot by ICE agents during an enforcement stop in California and later arrested by the FBI after being discharged from the hospital. His attorney, Patrick Kolasinski, stated that Mendoza underwent three surgeries for his injuries and was released into FBI custody without notifying his family or legal team. Mendoza is described as a suspected gang member wanted in El Salvador, but he claims he is not a gang member and has no criminal record in the U.S.
