The agents, having “reasonable suspicion,” chased the man who “violently resisted officers and refused to answer questions,” DHS said.

Mubashir, however, has said he was “simply standing still” after initially turning around when he saw a vehicle pull up.

Video shows Mubashir and the agent bursting into the building hallway after Mubashir appears to open the door.

The agent then pushes Mubashir against some fencing and can be heard asking, “Why are you running?”

A second agent then joins them and appears to help restrain Mubashir, who can be heard repeating “I’m a citizen” and screaming. Several people then come into the hallway from outside and begin filming the interaction and whistling before the agents pull Mubashir outside, video shows.

“A large crowd of agitators descended and began to threaten the officers,” DHS continued. “For their safety, they temporarily detained the individual to safely finish asking their questions. Once officers finished their questioning, he was promptly released.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has called for a review of all recent federal arrests in a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, expressing concern over the detentions of Mubashir and other US citizens, including some who he said were reportedly documenting federal activity.

His letter came ahead of Noem’s testimony before a contentious House committee hearing Thursday in which she faced tough questioning on the administration’s immigration policies and reports of citizens being detained.

Mubashir said he has lived in the United States since he was four years old and never expected he would one day be “standing in front of all these cameras and microphones.”

But after what happened to him, he said, he couldn’t stay quiet.

Mubashir likened his treatment by the agents to getting “kidnapped” and described the incident as an assault. “It was inhumane. They dragged me across the road, they slammed me to the ground, choked me. That was uncalled for,” he continued.

The federal agents who detained Mubashir refused his repeated attempts to show them a copy of his passport on his phone or provide his name and date of birth to prove his citizenship, he said. Instead, they insisted he allow them to take a photo of him to make the verification, according to Mubashir.

“I declined, because how will a picture prove I’m a US citizen?” he said, before eventually letting them “scan” his face.

After several failed attempts to scan Mubashir’s face and fingertips, the agents transported him to the detention center at Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, which houses an immigration court and Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices, he said.

There, he asked for water and medical assistance for his numb hands and injured back, but his requests were declined, Mubashir added. DHS’s statement did not address these allegations.
