Patterson ICE Shooting
The case of a Central Valley man shot multiple times by immigration agents during a traffic stop is in federal court in Sacramento County. Federal prosecutors say Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez was initially targeted because he did not have legal status in the U.S., and ICE agents shot him after he tried to drive into them. But the circumstances of the shooting have been challenged by Mendoza Hernandez's defense team and family. Sharon Bernstein, Senior Reporter at The Sacramento Bee joins Insight with the latest updates as the case moves through court.
