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.

    “I mean sure it violates the letter AND spirit of the Constitution which I’ve been sworn to uphold, but I’ve been told after having their rights under [that silly document I don’t care about] violated wholesale, the questioning is usually just a major inconvenience, so it’s fine to harass, intimidate, assault, and capture U.S citizens similar to how I treated women in college lol.”
