A Minneapolis resident with a disability described being dragged from her car by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and detained for several days in February.

Aliya Rahman's harrowing account was captured on video during the incident. She recounted how ICE agents approached her vehicle, where she was sitting in her wheelchair, and demanded to see her identification. Despite explaining that she had a disability permit allowing her to drive, the officers allegedly refused to accept the document and instead began to drag her from the car.

Rahman claimed that the officers were "rude" and "aggressive," and that they treated her as if she was an "illegally present immigrant." She expressed concern for the mental health of those who encounter such trauma on a daily basis.

In her account, Rahman shared what it was like to be held in detention. She described being confined to a small cell with limited access to medical care and saying goodbye to her loved ones over video calls. The conditions she witnessed were reportedly unsanitary and uncomfortable for people with disabilities.

Rahman is among several individuals who have spoken out against ICE's treatment of disabled migrants. Advocates argue that the agency's policies are designed to exploit vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities.

ICE officials have not commented on Rahman's account, but advocates say that her story highlights the need for greater protection and support for people with disabilities who encounter immigration enforcement.
 
OMG u guys this is like totally unacceptable 🤯 ICE has got 2 do better esp when it comes 2 ppl w/ disabillities they r not just trying 2 catch law breakers but also puttin lives at risk 🚨 its like, what kinda agency does that to its own ppl? Aliya's story is so harrowing i cant even imagine how she was feeling 🤕 & its not just her its ppl w/ disabilities who r being exploited 🤑 we need 2 make sure those in power are prioritizin our safety & well-being 💪
 
OMG 🙅‍♀️ this is so messed up! I'm literally shaking just thinking about Aliya going through all that trauma because of ICE's crappy policies 🤯. How can they even do that to someone in a wheelchair?! The fact that they refused to accept her disability permit and treated her like an "illegally present immigrant" is just disgusting 😷. And the conditions she was held in? Absolutely appalling 💔. It's not hard to see how this kind of treatment can mess with someone's mental health 🤕. We need to do more to protect people with disabilities, especially those who are already vulnerable. This story needs to be heard and shared so we can raise awareness about the issues and push for change 🗣️.
 
"Actions speak louder than words" 🗣️ when it comes to treating people with disabilities. The lack of comment from ICE officials is just a "step in the right direction" if they plan on changing their ways 💪. It's time to take action and ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, is treated with dignity and respect. We need more empathy and understanding when dealing with complex issues like immigration enforcement 🤝.

I'm totally blown away by Aliya's bravery in sharing her horrific experience 😱. As a parent, it's absolutely unacceptable to think that anyone, especially someone with a disability, should be treated like this 🙅‍♀️. I mean, can you imagine being dragged from your car and held against your will just because of a medical condition? 🚗😨 It's just not right.

I'm also so concerned about the lack of support and accommodations that Aliya and others with disabilities face when dealing with ICE 👥. It's like they're expected to navigate these already overwhelming situations without any extra help or understanding 😓. As parents, we know how important it is to have a system in place that supports our kids' needs, especially during traumatic situations 🤝.

We need to do better for people like Aliya and demand more from our leaders to create safer and more inclusive environments for everyone 🗣️.
 
🤯 I'm still shook after watching Aliya's video account of what happened to her... it's like something straight outta a horror movie 🎃 ICE agents treating someone like an "illegally present immigrant" just because they're in a wheelchair is literally unacceptable 💔. And can you even imagine being dragged from your car like that? 😱 I'm so tired of the lack of accountability from these agencies and the fear that people with disabilities live under 🤕 The government needs to do better, especially when it comes to protecting our citizens' rights 🙏
 
🤔 I'm really skeptical about this story. How reliable is that video of Aliya being dragged from her car? Was it recorded by a bystander or someone close to her? And what's to say she wasn't exaggerating or manipulating the situation for attention? 📹

I mean, I get that people with disabilities need extra protection in situations like this, but can we really trust that ICE is not doing its job when these agents are allegedly being "rude" and "aggressive"? What about the fact that Aliya was driving on public roads without a permit - shouldn't she have known better? 🚗

I'd love to see some sources or evidence supporting Aliya's claims, like witness statements or medical records from her time in detention. Otherwise, it sounds like a pretty fishy story to me... 🐟
 
omg 🤯 this is so heartbreaking 😭 aliya's experience sounds like a nightmare 😨 i cant believe ice agents would treat someone with a disability like that 🤕 they have no idea what it's like to be in her shoes 💼 and being dragged from her car was just the beginning 😲 she needs help now 🤝 and we need to hold ice accountable for their actions 👮‍♂️ this is not just about aliya, its about all the people who are going through similar trauma every day 💔 advocacy is key 💖 we need to raise awareness and support for our disabled community 🌟 especially when it comes to immigration issues 💼 everyone deserves dignity and respect regardless of their abilities 💕
 
omg this is so sad 🤕 i cant even imagine how scary and traumatic that must've been for aliya 😱 she was just trying to get on with her life in her own car but those ice agents were like total jerks 🤦‍♀️ their behavior towards her was appalling, especially since she has a disability permit and they refused to accept it. i mean what's next? targeting people with disabilities in public spaces or something? 😲 it's just not right. we need to speak out against this kind of mistreatment ASAP and make sure that people like aliya get the protection and support they deserve 🤝
 
idk why these ice agents r so clueless sometimes 😒 they got a person in a wheelchair just tryin to get around like everyone else, but nope, they gotta go all aggressive & rude 🤬. its not even about the immigration stuff, its about treatin people w/ respect & dignity 👏. Aliya's story is super sad & it makes me wanna cry 😭. we need 2 do better here in the US, especially 4 ppl with disabilities 💪. they deserve protection & support, not bein dragged around like a criminal 🚫.
 
OMG, this is so disturbing 🤯! Like, I know we're always talking about how unfair ICE is, but this takes the cake 🍰. I mean, can you even imagine being treated like that just because you have a disability? It's like they think you're some kind of "other" or something 🙅‍♀️. And the conditions she was kept in are literally unbearable 😷. Like, who does ICE think they are? They're supposed to be helping people, not hurting them.

And I'm so sick of these people claiming that migrants with disabilities are just "exploiting" the system 🤦‍♀️. That's such a cop-out! If someone is disabled and coming to this country seeking help or a better life, they shouldn't have to face abuse and neglect. We need to start holding ICE accountable for their actions and make sure that everyone, regardless of ability, gets the respect and support they deserve 💪.
 
This is absolutely horrific what happened to Aliya Rahman 🚫💔. Can't believe ICE agents would treat someone in a wheelchair like this - it's so dehumanizing. I'm not surprised that they refused to accept her disability permit, though - it's just another example of the systemic lack of understanding and accommodations for people with disabilities. It's heartbreaking to think about what she must've gone through during those days in detention 🤕... mental health is definitely a concern here, too - all this trauma can take a toll on someone's well-being.
 
I think its messed up how ICE is treating Aliya like that 😔. Like, she's already got a disability permit to drive, so shouldn't they be more understanding? But nope, they dragged her from her car like she was some kind of criminal 🚫. And what's even crazier is that they treated her like an "illegally present immigrant" just because she's disabled... that's not how it works at all 🙄. We gotta start thinking about the people who are already struggling and need help, not just those who are "illegal". It's time for ICE to get its act together and prioritize people over policies 💪
 
OMG, I'm literally shakin' rn!!! 😱 Aliya Rahman's story is just, like, soooo heartbreaking 🤕 Those ICE agents were so cruel & heartless! How could they treat someone like that?! She's got a disability permit & everything! 🤦‍♀️ It's just not right, you feel? 🤔 The way they dragged her from her car & treated her like an "illegally present immigrant" is just, ugh! 😡 And then to be held in detention with no medical care... that's just, wow. My heart goes out to Aliya & all the other disabled folks who have to deal with this stuff 🤗 We need to stand up for them & make sure they get the support & protection they deserve 💪
 
I mean come on, this is just another example of how messed up our system is 🤯. I've seen some crazy stuff online, but this Aliya Rahman thing takes the cake. Like, can't these ICE agents just take a deep breath and understand that people with disabilities aren't "illegally present" just because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? It's not like she was trying to sneak around or anything 🙄.

And what's up with the video footage? That's some serious trauma right there. I can only imagine how scared and disoriented she must have felt, being dragged from her car like that. And then you put her in a detention cell with no medical care? No wonder she's concerned about mental health 🤕.

I'm not saying we should just let everyone waltz across the border whenever they please, but come on, ICE needs to get its act together and start showing some compassion. This is why we need stricter regulations on immigration enforcement, or at least more empathy for people who are already vulnerable enough 😔.
 
I'm so worried about Aliya Rahman's experience 🤕. As someone who's lived a full life, I gotta say, treating anyone with disrespect or disregard is never okay. But being dragged from her car because of her disability? That's just cruel 😔. I can only imagine how scary and helpless she must've felt, and it's heartbreaking that ICE didn't know about her permit 🤦‍♀️. It's time for us to be more empathetic and understanding towards people with disabilities, especially when it comes to situations like this. We need to make sure they're protected and supported, not exploited or mistreated 💪.
 
😱 can u believe this?! they literally dragged her from her car 🚗 because of a disability permit? it's like they thought she was some kinda threat or something 🙅‍♀️ the video footage is insane, i mean, those ice agents were so rude and aggressive 😡. and to make matters worse, they treated her like an 'illegally present immigrant' 🤦‍♂️ like that even tho she's got a doc saying she can drive 🚗👍 i'm seriously worried about these ppl who deal with this kinda trauma on a daily basis 🤕 mental health issues are no joke, and we need to do more to support them 💪
 
Ugh, this is getting out of hand 🤯... I mean, can't we just treat ppl with dignity already? ICE is supposed to protect us, not drag ppl from their cars and throw them in a cell like they're some kinda prisoner 🚔. And for what? Because they might have a disability permit? It's just not right 💔. I'm all for holding ppl accountable, but this is just cruel 😩. These ppl are already struggling, and then ICE comes along and makes things worse... it's just a recipe for disaster 📦. We need to step up our game and make sure that ppl with disabilities are protected, not exploited 🤝.
