"Ahmed was born in Hennepin County and raised in St. Paul, and suffers from seizures, according to her family. She had been on her way to pick up prescription medication when the detention occurred. A review of Minnesota court records shows no documented criminal history."

State Rep. Samakab Hussein says,

“I don’t know what to say other than to make her comfortable. She’s devastated. They treated her with no respect.”
