After ICE Detention in Minneapolis, Aliya Rahman Initiates Legal Process
Disabled Bangladeshi American Aliya Rahman was detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis while on her way to a doctor's appointment. After experiencing physical trauma, she filed a federal compensation claim, launching legal proceedings.
Disabled Bangladeshi American Aliya Rahman, who lives in Minneapolis, was forcibly detained on January 13, 2026, while on her way to a doctor's appointment, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents broke her car windows and took her into custody. Rahman received hospital treatment for the trauma she experienced and, through her attorneys, filed a compensation claim against ICE under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Rahman stated that during the detention, no identification was asked, her rights were not read to her, and she was not confronted with any charges. Her attorney, Jessica Gingold, said that after the incident, false information spread on social media led to threats and harassment against her client.
Since it is difficult to directly sue federal agents in the U.S., those who suffer harm seek accountability through compensation claims. It was reported that in fiscal year 2025, ICE received over 400 compensation claims. A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson, however, called Rahman an 'agitator' and denied the allegations. Rahman continues to raise her voice for immigration reform by publicizing her experience. While it is noted that legal processes may take a long time, it is suggested that the increase in compensation claims could lead to changes in the system.
