Description
During the height of Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis early this year, Aliya Rahman was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when ICE agents smashed the glass out of her car windows at a Minneapolis intersection, pulled her out of her car, hauled her down the street by her arms and legs, and detained her.
Yesterday, Rahman, a disabled Minneapolis resident, filed an assault and false imprisonment lawsuit against the federal government—one she hopes could be “copy and pasteable” onto other people’s cases.
Freelance journalist Amanda Moore was reporting on the ground from Minneapolis in January and captured federal immigration agents dragging Rahman out of her car and detaining her.
