Updated Wed, February 25, 2026 at 11:45 PM EST#AliyaRahman: “I was not just removed and arrested. I was arrested so physically that two other attendees upstairs attempted to intervene in officers pulling on my shoulders after I told them I have a torn rotator cuff tendon and multiple cartilage tears in both of my shoulders.”

Meet #AliyaRahman, #Disabled #USCitizen Assaulted, Jailed & Traumatized by #ICE in Minneapolis
#DemocracyNow, February 09, 2026
"We speak with Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was violently dragged from her car by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month and detained at the Whipple Federal Building, which has become the epicenter of the government’s immigration crackdown in the city. Rahman says she repeatedly told agents she was disabled and had a brain injury, but they ignored her pleas for medical attention or other accommodation."

@autistics This podcast includes an excerpt of #AliyaRahman talking about what it's like to be a brain-injured person with #Autism being terrorized by ICE beginning at 10 minutes, 20 seconds into the podcast.
#InterzoneRadio, February 9, 2026:
Description:
"Democrats held a hearing on the minor issue of ICE goons murdering and maiming U.S. citizens. Predictably, Republicans skipped it to avoid catching 'empathy,' leaving survivors to recount tales of state-sponsored 'ethnic cleansing' to an empty GOP bench. Turns out, being shot five times is just 'standard procedure' now." 'Czar' Tom Homan demands Minnesota surrender unconvicted immigrants. Trump’s hostage negotiation meets lawless 'TACO' extortion.
"Plus 'hits' on 'MAGA radio' parody; fauxmercials and more. "

"We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being."
--Aliya Rahman,
US-citizen,
of Minneapolis,
speaking to the 3 Feb 2026 Congressional Forum on DHS-Use-of-Force
concerning her unlawful detention & horrific treatment by ICE on January 13, 2026https://youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?si=dGaJFiGTBQXZ8E1Q

“I was repeatedly denied #medical care, #disability accommodations, & access to a #mobility aid when I asked for my cane. Eventually, I insisted that they look for a wheelchair. When they found one & I was placed in it, I was told that my legs must work if I had been driving,” #AliyaRahman recalled. No one asked for her #ID or proof of #citizenship after she was #detained, #AliyaRahman said, nor was her face scanned.
Rahman eventually fell #unconscious, & so does not know what happened next.

“After I was violently dragged from my car, I was put in the back of a car with 3 federal agents, where they laughed at me & told me this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being,” #AliyaRahman said.
Rahman was then taken to the Whipple Federal Building, where many people are detained after being swept up by #ICE agents. Throughout her detention, Rahman kept reminding the officers that she is autistic & disabled, but no one seemed to care.
-
After the officers handcuffed her, they lifted her from her hands & her feet & carried her away.
“I do remember facing the ground & feeling pressure on my neck, which, because of my brain injury, was extremely painful for me,” she said.
The viral video ends with Rahman being dragged out & carried away by several officers. What transpired after that wasn’t captured on camera, but #AliyaRahman recalled how quickly things unraveled.

#AliyaRahman emphasized that, her #disability notwithstanding, this would not have been an easy moment to navigate for anyone. “I think it’s also important to point out that even someone who is not #autistic would have trouble handling that situation. It was chaotic & overwhelming. There was a lot going on & it was happening fast.”
The incident occurred just blocks away from where, a week earlier, an #ICE agent shot & killed #ReneeGood. “I constantly wondered if I was going to die,” Rahman said. -
“As an #autistic person, it was particularly difficult to understand what the officers wanted me to do. I personally experience audio sorting challenges as an autistic person. This makes it so that voices near & far are prioritized in the same way, making it difficult for me to figure out who is talking to me. Because of this, I tend to rely on reading lips. You can imagine how difficult it was for me to try to read lips when #ICE officers are completely #masked,” #AliyaRahman said.

#AliyaRahman, who is autistic & has auditory challenges when many people are talking at once, was brutally dragged from her car by #ICE agents in #Minneapolis. #DHS claimed in a statement that she an “agitator” who “ignored multiple commands by an officer to move her vehicle away from the scene.”

Watch this interview with #AliyaRahman, who was dragged from her car by #ICE while trying to get to a doctor's appointment:
"I have read too many books to think that things are ok when this level of dehumanization is happening because it means officers are probably trained to get through their day when they have been given orders that are not righteous and they have to hurt people."

Disabled woman speaks about her confrontation with #ICE
"In the video, Rahman could be heard saying 'I’m disabled, I’m trying to go to the doctor up there… I am an #autistic disabled person, I’m trying to go to the doctor,' according to RegTechTimes."

"A #USBornCitizen dragged from her car Tuesday by ICE agents is speaking out for the first time.
"#AliyaRahman told Newsweek that the last few days have been 'traumatizing and overwhelming.'
" 'First and foremost, I feel lucky to be alive. What I thought would be a routine trip to my appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center turned into an assault by federal agents,' said Rahman who was raised in Bangladesh.
"A New York Times reporter described what he witnessed in this video...:
