Communities across Minnesota are on edge as reports of ICE sweeps fuel fear, particularly among Somali-American residents. Advocacy groups say multiple legal residents and U.S. citizens were detained during recent enforcement actions, including a Somali-American woman whose family alleges she was zip-tied, mistreated, and sexually assaulted despite providing proof of her citizenship.
Additional footage from Key Largo shows a woman dragged from her vehicle while repeatedly stating she was a U.S. citizen, intensifying scrutiny of ICE’s tactics. Civil rights groups and community organizations are calling for accountability as claims mount that lawful residents are being targeted under the guise of immigration enforcement. DHS has not commented on the reported incidents.
Researchers and community monitors say that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been wrongfully detained in ICE operations nationwide this year, raising questions about oversight, accuracy, and due process.
