Federal immigration agents tackled and arrested a Somali American man in Minneapolis on Tuesday and detained him for about two hours for no apparent reason other than his ethnicity.

Mubashir, who moved to the United States as a small boy and became a naturalized American citizen, said that he stepped onto a sidewalk near 4th Street and Cedar Avenue during his lunch break when two masked men approached him. The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood is the heart of the city’s Somali American community.

      What about tickling? I saw one video a month ago where they pulled a woman out from her van. And as they were trying to hold her down, the one ice agent tickles her foot.

      Ever since, I’ve been confused, trying to figure out what POSSIBLE purpose that served.

        It’s a fetish combined with the willingness and permission to commit sexual assault.
