- Summary: «Nasra Ahmed, 23, left her family’s apartment complex on Lower Afton Road in St. Paul around 11 a.m. Wednesday on the way to the pharmacy to pick up her medicine. A car occupied by at least two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulled into the parking lot and demanded to see her papers.» Despite being a US citizen born in Minnesota who had never even been to Somalia, the «ICE agents detained her anyway, leaving her family uncertain of her whereabouts for at least 24 hours. Her father, Mohamed Ahmed, called [state Rep. Samakab] Hussein in tears, pleading for any information, and the representative tracked her to the Sherburne County Jail, where she’s being held without bail pending possible felony charges.»
