All hell is breaking loose in Minnesota as Donald Trump has ordered his ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo to attack the Somalian community there, to attack migrants there, to attack anyone who films the brutality and crimes against humanity being committed by Trump's ICE and Border Patrol, Gestapo. I want to share with you the story of Mubashir, an American citizen, a Somalian man who was leaving work during his lunch break. And he was tackled, given an unlawful chokehold thrown to the ground in freezing weather. Then he was trying to say, look, I have my ID. I'm an American citizen.

Look at my real ID. And the Trump Gestapo refused to look at it. They tried to figure out where the courthouse was. They didn't even know where the courthouse was, where they were trying to bring him because there was a detention center nearby where they wanted to throw him into. Then when they realized that he was a citizen, they basically threw him out and made him walk in the freezing cold. He could have froze to death. So let me show you what happens here. When ICE detained this United States citizen, Mubeshir, you'll see them give him the chokehold, tackle him and throw him to the ground.

This was caught on tape by some courageous citizen journalist. and our heart goes out to Mubashir and the entire Somalian community there in Minnesota who are under attack by the Trump regime with their racist and vile attacks against the entire Somalian community. Here, play this clip. Now, Mubash, no. No. Now, here's another angle of what took place? Now, here's another angle of what took place before Mubashir was brought outside. You'll see him, assaulting him right here as he's walking him right here as he's walking. out. You'll see him by the staircase here. And he's saying, let me show you my ID. I'm an American citizen. I'm an American citizen. Here, play this clip. Now, I'll show you there's been a bunch of these

and border patrol Gestapo. And what they're now doing on the orders of Donald Trump is they're spraying chemical weapons into the faces of some of the peaceful protesters and people who have showed up to just show support. for their community, which is now under siege by this Trump invasion. Here, play this clip. Now I'll show you right here.

I'll show you right here. We're hearing from Mubashir. 20-year-old Minneapolis resident, United States citizen. He held a press conference yesterday. Here's what he said about what went down. A very moving press conference by Mubeshir. Listen to every single word right here. Let's play it.

My name is Mubeshire. And I never expected to be standing in front of all these cameras and microphones. But what happened to me cannot stay quiet. What happened to me was unjust, uncalled for. I was simply on my lunch break. I literally went downstairs from my building. I was even outside for mere seconds before I seen a mass person running at me full speed. He tackled me, pushed me inside the restaurant, like, as you can see in the video, I told him I'm a U.S. citizen, what is going on?

He didn't seem to care. He dreaded me outside through the snow while I was handcuffed, restrained, helpless. and he pushed me to the ground, and he put me in a chokehold. And they asked me, we have to verify if you're a U.S. citizen because I believe you're an illegal citizen because you ran for me. But as you can see in the videos that will be released, I'm simply just standing still. I asked them, okay, they said, let me take a picture of you

to stand your face to see if you're a U.S. citizen. I declined because how will a picture prove I'm a U.S. citizen? I told him I had my passport. It's in my phone. Can I open and show you? He declined. I told him, trying to give you my name, my date of birth. He declined.

So he took me on the other side of Cedar, and they kept me there for 45 minutes. Just asking, we have to scan your face. We have to scan your face. After about a whole hour, they said, okay, we can do your fingerprints on our phones. And the fingerprints were not working. So I guess they waited 20 more minutes.

and they said, we're taking you in to Bishop Henry all the way in Bloomington. While they were driving me all the way there, they were wasting time. They kept going back in the same highway. I told them, are you guys lost? But they said, yeah, this is our first time taking someone in, and I told they had the maps out on everything.

They were trying to intimidate me. So after I arrived at the facility, they parked up, the gate was closed, and they made me step outside in the snow while it was snowing and they said we have to scare your face or we're not going to let you inside the car. So I had no choice. I let them scare my face. I was so cold. I guess the face thing, I guess it didn't work. So they finally took me inside the facility. They kept me there for another 20, 30 minutes. At that time, I asked for water. They declined my water. And I also

ask for medical assistance because my hands were numb and my back was hurting because he pushed me down and he put his whole body weight they told me we don't have any medical staff at the facility some lady listened i told you can you turn out my phone i had my passport card and she finally let me use my phone i showed her and she said okay we still have to do your fingerprints i did my friend and friends and they finally let me go. I asked him, can you take me back to where you pick me up from? They said, no, you have to walk in the snow. Like they were being serious. I asked three times, they said, no, you're walking. And yeah, all I did was step outside as a Somali American and I just got chased by a mass person. He didn't identify himself.

He didn't say ice, stop. Like, I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that's exactly where it was. And the way they were treating me, it was inhumane. They dragged me across the road. They slammed me to the ground, choked me. That was on call for. There's also more videos of someone came out. They had a copy of my passport.

And I told the agent, he has my passport copy. And he said, we don't care. We're still taking you in. And they kept me for two hours. and if this is what's happening to a U.S. American citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones when there's no one around to witness what they're doing. But thankfully, my incident was caught on cameras.

It was posted all over social media. This shouldn't be happening to anyone. We shouldn't feel a target just because we're Somalis. Man, that's not right.

Jacob Frey. Here's what he has to say. Play this clip. You're asking exactly the right question. The question for those that didn't hear is, is this a violation of Minnesota law, federal law, constitutional law. While I can't speak to every instance,

I'm not aware of all the details from the one that you referenced yesterday. Under any law and under the United States Constitution, you can't tackle somebody because they look Somali without knowing who they are, what their name is, and you can't then detain them for purposes of immigration when they're a complete legal American citizen, when they have tried to provide information showing that they're an American citizen, where you have declined to receive that information,

which you saw in this video, what we are seeing again and again is discrimination only to the extent that it applies to certain groups. So they are discriminating only as it applies to, are you a Latino person, are you a Somali person? Once that's been established, as far as we can tell, there are countless incidents where the arrest, the detention is indiscriminate. You can't do that.

You can't do that in Minneapolis. You can't do that anywhere in this country, not because I'm a progressive liberal mayor or whatever. You can't do that because it's against. the law well well there you have it folks remember to hit subscribe here give a shout out to our great friends at status coup who are on the ground in these locations getting putting in a lot of time and effort and putting their safety on the line to bring you footage like that great work status coup subscribe to their YouTube page as well subscribe to our YouTube page here thanks for watching everybody we appreciate you love this video support independent media
