Osman said armed ICE agents went to East African restaurants in the neighborhood Tuesday, closed the doors and demanded people's IDs. They found only U.S. citizens and made no arrests, Osman said.
"Luckily everyone had their passport, because I've been telling them to have their passport with them,” Osman said {emphasis added}

Osman said he saw people suffering from the effects of chemical irritants. He also said he spoke with one young Somali American who was dragged to a vehicle, detained and taken to an ICE detention center. There, officials finally looked at his U.S. passport, fingerprinted him, and released him but told him to find his own way home, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) away in snowy weather {emphasis added}.
“I just don’t know what they accomplished today other than the chaos," Osman said.
