A 20-year-old U.S. citizen named Mubashir was violently tackled and arrested by federal agents in Minneapolis last week during his lunch break. Mubashir, a Somali American who did not share his last name for safety reasons, spoke about the incident at a press conference with city leaders.
According to HuffPost, video footage from the event showed two agents immediately pushing Mubashir into a stairwell and handcuffing him aggressively. One agent put him in a chokehold and pushed him down into the snow before forcing him into a vehicle. When Mubashir tried to ask what was happening, the agent showed no concern. He said, “I told him, ‘I’m a U.S. citizen, what is going on?’ He didn’t seem to care.”
