Jose Mejia Hernandez was walking to work before sunrise when a truck suddenly raced toward him.

It was approximately 6:30 a.m. on August 11. According to the account provided by his attorney, two men jumped from the vehicle and ran directly at him. Hernandez did not know who they were or what they wanted.

Terrified, he ran.

Moments later, he felt what he believed was the shock of a stun gun or Taser. Then everything disappeared.

His next memory was waking inside a hospital many hours later. His face showed signs of significant blunt-force trauma, but he could not remember how the injuries occurred. He did not know who had transported him, what force had allegedly been used or how he had ended up unconscious.

Two ICE agents were reportedly standing beside his bed.

The disturbing allegations, detailed by Hernandez’s attorney in a narrative obtained by MeidasTouch, raise urgent questions about the immigration apprehension, his treatment in custody and whether federal monitoring requirements later interfered with care for a potentially life-threatening brain injury.

The account represents the attorney’s version of events. The supplied report does not include responses from ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, the hospital or the agents allegedly involved, and many critical facts remain unconfirmed.

But the lawyer’s description paints a terrifying picture of a patient trapped inside his own medical crisis without understanding what had happened to him.

Throughout Hernandez’s first hospitalization, two ICE agents allegedly remained at his bedside around the clock. His attorney said he was never given an opportunity to speak privately with his doctors.

When Hernandez asked the agents what had happened, they reportedly said they did not know. Hospital staff allegedly offered limited information and appeared reluctant to discuss his condition openly while the officers were present.

Finally, according to the lawyer, a nurse quietly spoke to Hernandez in Spanish.

She told him that he had suffered a brain bleed and swelling in his brain.

Yet Hernandez was allegedly never given a complete explanation of his diagnosis, treatment or the events that caused his injuries. He reportedly believed the hospital was communicating more extensively with ICE than with him—the injured patient lying in the bed.

Meanwhile, his wife and stepchild had no idea where he was.

For approximately three days, the family allegedly received no notification from DHS or the hospital that Hernandez had been detained, injured or admitted for emergency care. While he lay under guard, they were left to confront the possibility that he had simply disappeared.

When ICE officials decided that Hernandez could leave the hospital, the confusion reportedly continued.

His attorney said Hernandez did not initially understand that he was being released. He was transported from the hospital, given food and water and instructed to contact his family. Authorities then took him to an ICE office, placed a GPS monitor around his ankle and handed him immigration documents, including a Notice to Appear.

He still allegedly did not understand the full severity of his neurological injuries.

Within days, his condition worsened.

By Friday, Hernandez was experiencing significant symptoms and returned to the hospital. Doctors again diagnosed a traumatic brain injury and brain bleed, his attorney said. He remained hospitalized for roughly two additional days.

But another obstacle had appeared: the GPS ankle monitor.

According to the attorney, physicians could not complete necessary imaging while the device remained attached. Hernandez needed an MRI, but removing the monitor required cooperation from the immigration supervision program.

At an August 17 ISAP appointment, his lawyer presented medical documentation and asked that the monitor be removed. ISAP allegedly refused unless Hernandez could provide the precise date and time of a scheduled MRI.

That requirement forced an injured man suffering from headaches, dizziness and pain to return to the hospital merely to arrange the scan, then go back to immigration officials for the monitor’s removal.

The MRI was ultimately scheduled for August 18. Hernandez was required to visit ISAP first, have the device removed, undergo the scan and then return to have the monitor reattached.

His lawyer is now demanding a complete accounting of what happened—from the moment the truck approached to the moment Hernandez regained consciousness.

The demands include the identities of everyone involved, details of any force used, transportation records, custody logs, recordings, communications with hospital staff and an explanation for why his family allegedly remained uninformed.

The attorney is also seeking the preservation of all relevant evidence.

At the center of the case is a chilling blank space in Hernandez’s memory.

He remembers walking to work. He remembers men running toward him. He remembers what felt like an electrical shock.

Then nothing—until he opened his eyes with an injured brain, agents beside his bed and his family still searching for him.
