AHMED BIN HASSAN was keeping to himself, sitting in the car he was driving for Uber at the airport in Minneapolis. A few hours earlier, elsewhere in the city, an officer with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.
Bin Hassan, a Somali American, was intently watching videos of the killing, which were rapidly circulating on social media, when he heard a knock on his car’s window.
It was a Border Patrol agent.
Stunned, Bin Hassan opened the door and asked the agent, part of a massive crackdown on immigrants in the Twin Cities following President Donald Trump’s racist comments about the Somali community there, what she wanted. The subsequent confrontation between Bin Hassan and over a dozen masked ICE agents has since gone viral.
