Nasra Ahmed, says She Was Wrongfully Detained by ICE, Sustained Injury
A 23-year-old U.S. citizen, Nasra Ahmed, says she was forcefully detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in St. Paul, Minnesota, and held for two days before being released without charges.
Ahmed, who was born in the United States and has no known criminal record, described the Jan. 14 incident during a news conference at the Minnesota State Capitol. She said ICE officers surrounded her in her neighborhood, demanded identification, and became aggressive even after she complied.
During the arrest, Ahmed says an agent used a racial slur and she was pushed to the ground with enough force to result in a concussion and bruising. She and community advocates say video recorded by neighbors shows multiple masked agents detaining her and placing her into a vehicle.
Ahmed was first taken to a federal ICE facility at the Whipple Building and then transferred to the Sherburne County Jail, where she remained in custody for two days before being released without explanation.
At the press event, Ahmed showed bandages on her head and described the physical and emotional toll of the encounter. Local leaders, including state lawmakers, expressed concern that the incident reflects broader enforcement practices in the community.
ICE has not publicly responded to the specific allegations, and federal officials did not immediately provide comment at the time of the news reports.
