Red meat for rabid anti-ICE Karens
No matter how thick the Jussie Smollett vibes might be emanating from this Somali hate crime victim, rest assured the anti-ICE Karens are going to lap it up.
Here you have a beautiful young Somali gift from the Diversity™ gods, Nasra Ahmed, just trying to go about fulfilling her divinely ordained role culturally enriching Minneapolis, brutalized in a horrendous fashion by the modern-day Gestapo.
Yet here she stands, bravely in defiance of ¡lITeRaL fAsCiSM!, a Band-Aid covering up her horrific wounds, bent but not broken, relaying the ordeal she experienced at the hands of Trump’s stormtroopers:
We were following these two men, and I was waiting for these 2 men to hold the door for me. And I told them ‘Hey can you hold the door for me?’ And I walked right in the middle. And when I was in the middle, ICE came.
They came out of their cars, asked me to see my ID. And while they were asking me to see the ID, they just decided it was nice to be racist, saying really nasty things to me.
Yeah, that man, he called me the N-word... and then they arrested me. It was multiple people. They used a lot of force to arrest me. I actually got a scab that was healing while I was in jail, but they pushed hard. They used a lot of violence. My body still hurts. I got a concussion. It's really hard for me to speak because of that concussion.
They were just using a lot of force to arrest me, and I was screaming, I was crying, I was so scared. I’ve, like, I’ve never been arrested in my life. I don't have, like, a criminal record. I have a clean record..
It was just, that detainment, I was detained. I was in literal cuffs put on my legs, cuffs on my hands. And I was actually detained with a Native American woman, and God bless her heart. She went through a lot too, she was also detained by ICE. And she was also a U.S. citizen. And like me, and she had gashes on her face. They shattered her windows.
She had blood on her jeans… And she was crying because she was so scared… that her dog got hurt… We were both crying together. We were holding each other tight. I will never forget, like, the fear that we both felt in our hearts that day. And it's like, I'm so sorry if I am getting emotional.
Your latest totally believable ICE hate crime victim.

Don't you see the Band-Aid taped to her face?
That means she's legit, bigots.

This is probably some kind of thoughtcrime that I’m going to be retroactively indicted for when the Democrats regain power, but I have to be honest: the bandage covering no visible lacerations or contusions, the waterworks with no water, and the wildly implausible details aren’t doing it for me.

I’m going to need to see some receipts before I can in good conscience endorse calling DOJ Civil Rights Division investigators up to Minneapolis.
The whole scene she paints of her tender embrace of a Native American comrade in intersectional solidarity would all be really touching stuff — if one were inclined to believe a single detail of the whole scenario as she described it.
You or I or literally anyone with common sense might have some follow-up questions — but, again, the anti-ICE Karens definitely will not.
Countdown until this Icon of The Resistance is crying to the estrogenic choir at The View to universal, credulous sympathy nods.

The actress, by the way, seemingly apropos of nothing except a very generic question about what it means to be a hyphenated “American,” in the same performance, also analogized being both Somali and American to eating bananas and rice — which is apparently the national dish of Somalia, meant to be eaten with the hands — immediately after claiming that being Somali was nothing at all like eating bananas with rice and bananas.

I don’t know who the Asian guy standing behind this lady at the presser is, but, based on the look of abject confusion and disgust that creeps across his face as she delivers her nonsense about bananas and rice, he appears to reconsider the wisdom of making her the mascot for anti-ICE resistance.
