Minneapolis Woman Dragged From Car by ICE Agents Sues Feds over Arrest
The lawsuit alleges agents broke her window, pulled her from her car and caused physical and emotional injuries.
- On Tuesday, Minneapolis resident Aliya Rahman filed a lawsuit against the federal government, alleging assault, false arrest, and negligence by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during her January 13 arrest.
- During "Operation Metro Surge," an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, agents smashed Rahman's car window and dragged her from her vehicle while she was en route to a medical appointment.
- Rahman alleges officers mocked her autism, denied medical care, and caused lasting physical injuries; her attorney Jessica Gingold of the MacArthur Justice Center stated the incident reflects "a lawless and negligent government."
- Gingold said the legal team plans to depose the officers to identify them, as ICE has not provided names or records regarding the arrest.
- Rahman previously filed administrative claims in April and June without receiving government responses, prompting her to pursue this lawsuit in hopes of helping others impacted by alleged misconduct during the operation.
