The illegal alien, Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, is still in the hospital, where he is reportedly in stable condition.

His family is denying that he is a gang member, as the DHS previously stated.

The Sacramento Bee has the latest update:

Patrick Kolasinski, a Modesto-based immigration attorney representing Mendoza Hernandez’s family, said that the man is in stable condition at Doctors Medical Center and that the family denies all allegations that Mendoza Hernandez was affiliated with gangs, as ICE asserted. “The biggest thing the family wants to get out right now is that he is not a gang member,” the attorney told The Modesto Bee. “He is a family man engaged to a U.S. citizen with a 2-year-old U.S. citizen daughter who was on his way to work in the Bay Area.”

How do you feel about it?
