Mubashir, a 20-year-old Somali American who says he's been a U.S. citizen since childhood, was tackled, handcuffed and detained by masked federal agents in Minneapolis during a confrontation that was filmed by onlookers.Video shows agents kneeling and using a chokehold while Mubashir says he repeatedly told them he was a U.S. citizen and tried to show a digital passport before being taken to a federal facility and later released.DHS and
ICE defended the action as lawful and based on reasonable suspicion, while local officials including
Tim Walz,
Jacob Frey and
Brian O’Hara called for reviews and accountability and other alleged cases such as
Andrea Velez and
Javier Ramirez in California raised similar civil-rights concerns.
