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.

    Yeah, make sure to sue the masked federal agents that are immune from prosecution by name… You know the goons who hide their identity and the us legal system has defended.

      In a lawsuit, you should be able to unmask the identities of the people who arrested you. That used to work anyway. Who knows if it would work in the current climate, but I think it’s still important to at least try.
