According to sources who spoke to domestic media, a phone call between President Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ended with an agreement to remove ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents from the state.

This development marks a significant shift in response to the violence and unrest that has erupted in Minnesota over the past days during confrontations involving federal forces and ICE officers, which have already resulted in the deaths of at least two civilians.

Former U.S. presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have criticized Trump’s hard-line immigration strategy, which reportedly aimed for aggressive deportations, particularly targeting the Somali community.

In Minnesota, local residents have shown solidarity with the Somali community, who have reported heavy pressure from the Trump administration. Many business owners closed their shops in protest and joined demonstrations against ICE’s presence.

ICE officials confirmed Jamal’s arrest in Minneapolis last Friday.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged Jamal has a criminal history that includes assault, fraud, and violating a restraining order.

He is currently being held at the Freeborn County Jail in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

Community members, however, say Jamal’s detention has fueled fear and uncertainty among Somali immigrants, many of whom worry they may be next.

Jamal has been a visible figure in Minnesota for decades, serving as a liaison between Somali-Americans and law enforcement.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office praised his work, noting he played “an integral role in helping us build trust with the Somali community.”

His attorney, Abdiqani Jabane, told Fox9 news channel that Jamal’s long service to the community.

“Mr. Jamal has devoted decades to strengthening trust between law enforcement and the Somali-American community.  We will pursue all legal remedies to protect his rights and secure his release,” Jabane said.

Jamal’s immigration status has been under scrutiny for years.

He was issued a final deportation order in 2011, though Somalia has not accepted deportees due to ongoing instability.

Despite this, the Trump administration has pushed new agreements with African nations, such as Rwanda, Uganda, and Eswatini, to take in deportees from the U.S.—raising fresh fears in Minnesota’s Somali diaspora.

For many, Jamal’s arrest is seen not just as an individual case but as a warning of broader immigration enforcement actions that could destabilize families and communities.
