While local press initially reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “shot someone” in California, the real story is that officers stopped an illegal alien who was part of a foreign terrorist organization, and they had to defend themselves after he weaponized his vehicle in a potentially deadly attack.
The KTVU headline was “Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers shot someone in Patterson, Calif., leading to the partial closure of the I-5 freeway in Stanislaus County, the sheriff announced on Tuesday.” Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin quickly clarified that someone with a bullet in him did everything he could to deserve that bullet.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons shared a statement with Melugin to provide details on the traffic stop, which resulted in the partial freeway closure. “On April 7, 2026, ICE officers were conducting a targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, CA to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an 18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder,” Lyons began.
He added, “As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over. Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public.” It is not clear if Hernandez received more than one bullet wound.
