Image: The December 9, 2025 arrest of 20-year-old Mubashir by ICE agents in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis. Mubashir is a naturalized American citizen of Somali descent. As noted here, he was arrested and detained by ICE for about two hours “for no apparent reason other than his ethnicity.” Mabashir’s unconstitutional treatment is one of hundreds of similar incidents taking place throughout the Twin Cities, the result of the Trump regime’s ongoing reign of intimidation and violence (including lethal violence) in Minnesota.
