US EditionMinnesota Teacher at Special Education School Held by ICE for Nearly 12 Hours
Christina Rank was held nearly 12 hours after a parking lot collision with a federal vehicle; released pending investigation amid calls for transparency from family and officials.
- On Monday, Christina Rank, a 25-year-old special education paraprofessional, was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at Concord Education Center and held nearly 12 hours at Fort Snelling before release for 10 days pending investigation.
- Videos posted online show conflicting claims about the collision at 9015 Broderick Blvd, while Sarah Hunkele and school officials seek surveillance footage and question ICE's presence at the Level 4 school.
- Rank has worked one-on-one with disabled students for seven years, and experts say Level 4 students have limited vocal skills and high vulnerability around police or ICE.
- U.S. Rep. Angie Craig's office said it was seeking information and called the detention 'shocking', while Sarah Hunkele enlisted attorneys to obtain surveillance footage amid family distress.
- Protests outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building have featured tear gas and pepper spray amid unrest tied to Renee Good's shooting, and a lawmaker introduced legislation to bar ICE from sensitive sites like schools.
