Minnesota: DOJ Arrests 16 Anti-ICE Activists for Rioting, Including Viral ‘Bananas and Rice’ Somali Migrant
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced the arrests of 16 individuals in Minnesota for allegedly rioting and assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, including a Somali immigrant who recently went viral for saying that “being Somali isn’t just eating bananas with rice.”
“I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X:
We expect more arrests to come. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nothing will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law.
Among those arrested is 23-year-old Nasra Ahmed, a Somali American, who recently went viral online when, during a press conference, she said, “Being Somali isn’t just eating bananas with rice.”
“It’s like, it’s a, it’s a… it’s kind of like the bananas and rice,” Ahmed said. “It’s like that combination of banana and rice, but you, you, you’re gonna get what I mean.” (Read more from “Minnesota: DOJ Arrests 16 Anti-ICE Activists for Rioting, Including Viral ‘Bananas and Rice’ Somali Migrant” HERE)
