This happened in Portland, Maine, not Minnesota.
Via the Portland Press Herald:
Hassane Barry and his wife, Nene, both asylum seekers from the Republic of Guinea in West Africa, were driving home from an appointment to get their 1-month-old baby a passport last week. On Preble Street, they suddenly found themselves boxed in by four unmarked police cars.
[Armed and masked agents] shattered his driver’s side window. Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat, Nene Barry said. Her husband was arrested and pulled into an unmarked police car. Officers left the scene in a matter of minutes.
Nene Barry, who does not have a driver’s license and speaks little English, was left alone inside the car with her infant.
The Press Herald noted that while federal officials claim to target “the worst of the worst” in Maine, Hassane Barry has no known criminal record.
Fortunately, “Onlookers quickly jumped in to help,” the Press Herald reported. They took the mother and baby into a warm car and were able to get them and their car home.
But now, Mrs. Barry has said she is too scared to leave her apartment.
