​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. The FBI on Monday arrested an alleged illegal immigrant and suspected gang member after authorities say he rammed an ICE officer with his car during a traffic stop last week.. Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, 36, a national of El Salvador residing near San Francisco, California, was charged with assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon, according to the Department of Justice on Tuesday.. Authorities previously said agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop because they suspected Mendoza Hernandez of being affiliated with the 18th Street Gang. He was also believed to be in the U.S. illegally and wanted in connection with a murder investigation in El Salvador.. During his attempt to flee, he allegedly weaponized his vehicle and was subsequently shot by law enforcement. He was transported to a hospital, where he recovered for several days before being medically cleared and taken into custody.. ICE INVOLVED IN SHOOTING AFTER AGENCY SAYS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBER TRIED TO RAM OFFICE. “Mendoza Hernandez refused to comply with lawful orders from federal officers, operated his vehicle in a manner that damaged a federal vehicle, and drove his vehicle toward officers in a manner that would have caused serious bodily injury or death had the officers not taken evasive action,” FBI Special Agent Brian Toy said in a recently unsealed criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.. According to federal prosecutors, four agents conducted the targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, California, about 70 miles southeast of San Francisco, last Tuesday.. As agents attempted to detain him, he “eventually drove forward and hit an agent with his vehicle.” He then reversed abruptly and violently collided with a law enforcement vehicle parked behind him in a possible attempt to create room to escape, the complaint said.. He again attempted to ram two agents in front of him, forcing one agent to jump out of the way to avoid harm.. “Based on my training and experience, and after reviewing relevant video evidence from the encounter, I believe that if Agent 1 had not moved, he/she would have been struck by Mendoza Hernandez and would have suffered serious bodily injury or death,” Toy said in the complaint.. ICE HEAD SAYS AGENTS FACING ‘CONSTANT IMPEDIMENTS’ AFTER MIGRANT SEEN RAMMING CARS WHILE TRYING TO FLEE. In response to his vehicle’s movements, agents discharged their firearms, striking Mendoza Hernandez several times.. Mendoza Hernandez then fled the scene by jumping the center median and driving the wrong way against traffic, eventually bringing his car to a stop on the side of the road.. The attorney representing Mendoza Hernandez said that his client was shot in the mouth, left arm, left leg, abdomen and somewhere on his right side, according to Fox 2 KTVU.. He was reportedly in the ICU as of Monday and “was in no condition” to be released, attorney Patrick Kolasinki added

​A former Florida surgeon was indicted by a Walton County grand jury on a charge of second-degree manslaughter after authorities say he removed a man’s liver instead of his spleen during a procedure in 2024 at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast Hospital in Miramar Beach. The Office of the State Attorney for the First Judicial Circuit announced in a release that Dr. Thomas Shaknovsky was charged in connection with the death of 70-year-old Bill Bryan of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

Prosecutors allege the surgery had been scheduled as a laparoscopic splenectomy, a minimally invasive operation to remove the spleen, but the inadvertent removal of Bryan’s liver led to catastrophic blood loss and the patient’s death on the operating table. A Walton County grand jury found that the surgeon’s actions in the operating room constituted criminal conduct under Florida law.

Our duty is to follow the facts wherever they lead, without fear or favor, Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson said in a news release. The Grand Jury has spoken, and our responsibility is to ensure the charges are carried out through the proper legal process. Our thoughts remain with the victim’s family and their unspeakable loss. Adkinson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Available court records did not list an attorney for Shaknovsky, and it is unclear whether he has retained legal representation. Following Bryan’s death in 2024, the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners filed a court order to suspend Shaknovsky’s medical license, which was granted that same year. His Florida medical license was also suspended in 2024, followed by a suspension of his New York license in 2025.

The Florida court order to suspend Shaknovsky’s license revealed that he had previously made similar mistakes and attempted to cover them up. In May 2023, he removed a portion of a patient’s pancreas instead of the adrenal gland. When questioned about the error, he claimed the adrenal gland had migrated to another part of the body, a claim the patient’s subsequent injury suggested was inaccurate. The order noted that Shaknovsky’s repeated egregious surgical errors caused significant patient harm and that his failure to take responsibility indicated his reckless conduct was likely to continue, making his continued practice as an osteopathic physician a danger to public health and safety.

Shaknovsky is being held at the Walton County Jail and awaiting further legal proceedings.
