ICE Detains US Citizen Mubashir Despite Passport Offer; Leaders Outraged

  • A 20-year-old US citizen from Minneapolis reported being wrongfully detained by ICE agents despite offering to show his passport.
  • The citizen, Mubashir, described feeling "kidnapped" by a masked agent who did not identify himself during the arrest.
  • The detention occurred as part of "Operation Metro Surge," a new immigration enforcement initiative in the Twin Cities.
  • Local leaders, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, criticized the incident, raising concerns about targeting Somali families and eroding community trust.
  • Critics argue such aggressive ICE tactics risk harming citizens and legal residents who are wrongly identified as undocumented.

Why It Matters: This shows ICE's aggressive tactics can wrongly detain US citizens, eroding trust.
