Somali American U.S. citizen arrested by immigration agents, detained for two days
A U.S.-born Somali American woman said she was forcibly arrested and detained by immigration officials for two days amid the Trump administration’s crackdown in Minnesota. . . .
With bandages still covering scrapes on her forehead, Nasra Ahmed, 23, spoke about her arrest at a news conference at the Minnesota Capitol on Jan. 21. She said immigration agents stopped her in her neighborhood and asked for her identification.
Ahmed said they then used a racial slur and pushed and detained her, leaving her with body aches and a concussion.
Asked for comment on Ahmed’s arrest, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson implied she had assaulted law enforcement, though they did not provide any detail or evidence to support the claim.
That ICE/DHS tactic is a feature, not a bug, which is why so many of their charges don't hold up in court. See D.C.:
That statistic is "shocking," he wrote, compared with the 0.5% of cases charged by criminal complaint that the government dismissed in the district over the past decade.

In a humiliating courtroom defeat for the government—and setback for Trump’s deportation drive—U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino had repeatedly lied to the court, only coming clean when the evidence meant he couldn’t continue to do so. . . . specifically his claim that he was hit in the head with a rock before he lobbed gas at protesters—saying he “later admitted that he lied” after DHS failed to provide any evidence to support its claim.
