I’m pretty sure that not wanting to face the consequences of breaking the law is not an excuse to trap federal agents in your car and transport them against their will, despite orders to stop, including with a weapon deployed.
But then again, this is Minnesota, and two illegal aliens refused to be detained by Homeland Security agents, trapped them in their car, and…I kid you not…drove them to the New Hope, Minnesota police station in hopes that the police in this sanctuary state would protect them from arrest.
Given how Minnesota politicians speak about fighting the federal government, they likely assumed that they could get away with a “citizen’s arrest” or something.

A Nigerian national and a woman living in the Twin Cities are federally charged with assaulting a federal Homeland Security agent this week during an incident that was originally described as a “kidnapping” of the agent.
Alpha News received a tip on Wednesday that Plymouth and New Hope, Minn., police officers had responded to a report that a federal agent had been kidnapped and was inside the moving vehicle of a suspect.
A statement and police report obtained by Crime Watch from the Plymouth Police Department confirms that both Plymouth and New Hope police officers responded as the vehicle traveled from Plymouth toward New Hope.
From these reports, it doesn’t sound like the agents were in immediate peril, which is good, although one of the agents pulled her gun in an attempt to order the driver to pull over. They did not do so.
ONLY on Crime Watch: Following a tip yesterday, we have confirmed that a federal agent appears to have been briefly kidnapped in the Plymouth/New Hope area by a suspect HSI was trying to detain. Statement below from Plymouth PD and a copy of the police report.

Ironically, it seems as if the suspects had gone to the Plymouth, MN police station as they had originally intended, it’s possible they would have intervened on their behalf. As soon as they discovered that the incident was related to immigration, they skedaddled tout suite.
The report indicates that calls were made to 911 during the fleeing incident by another agent chasing the suspect vehicle, and from the driver of the fleeing suspect vehicle, who said they were headed to the police department.
The vehicle was eventually stopped in front of the New Hope Police Department, and the agent was safely secured. One suspect fled on foot in front of the nearby Hy-Vee store but was subsequently detained, as was a female still inside the vehicle.
The police report indicated that a responding Plymouth police officer was “advised” that Plymouth was clearing the scene because they had no involvement with the initial incident. The accompanying statement from the Plymouth Public Safety Administrator stated that Plymouth police had not been informed of federal activity in the area but responded to the 911 calls about the incident. As soon as it was determined that the activity stemmed from federal law enforcement activities, Plymouth officers cleared themselves from the scene. “The Plymouth Police Department does not engage in federal immigration enforcement and is typically not notified of federal operations. Plymouth police officers enforce only state and local laws,” the statement read.
Is abduction a state or local offense? Probably not, if you are in the country illegally. As Hennepin County Attorney (Plymouth and New Hope are suburbs of Minneapolis, and are all in Hennepin County) has shown, illegal aliens can get away with rape, so why not kidnapping as well?
Both Bamigboye and Frazier got out of the vehicle but remained near the vehicle as agents approached and identified themselves as law enforcement and showed their badges and credentials. The agents informed Bamigboye they wanted to talk about his immigration status. Bamigboye then got into the back seat of the Jeep and asked what kind of police they were. When agents responded that they were HSI, Bamigboye clung to the headrest and told Frazier to “Drive! Drive! Drive! Get in the car and drive,” or words to that effect.
As Frazier got into driver’s seat and started the vehicle, one agent got into the front seat in an attempt to stop her from driving away, while another agent attempted to pull Bamigboye out of the vehicle.
Frazier and the front seat agent began to struggle over the gear shifter, while Bamigboye began to try to push the same agent out of the vehicle. Frazier got the vehicle into drive and began to pull away. The agent at the back door of the vehicle was forced to jump away to avoid being struck, while the front door closed with the other agent still inside the vehicle.
The trapped agent demanded that Frazier stop the vehicle and told her she was “making a very bad decision.” Frazier continued to push the agent’s hand away when he tried to put the Jeep in park. Frazier told the agent she would crash the Jeep if he didn’t stop, and that she was taking him to the police department.
The complaint stated that the agent was from out of state and had no idea where he was and feared that he was being abducted. Meanwhile, Bamigboye called 911 from the back seat, while the agent tried to yell to the dispatcher.
The agent drew his firearm and demanded that Frazier stop, but Frazier kept driving.
There is so much that is bizarre about this story, it’s hard to wrap your head around it. Clearly, these Nigerians took Tim Walz and all the Democratic politicians at their word that they would be protected from federal law enforcement. Perhaps that is how it works in Nigeria, where if you know the Prince who is sending millions of dollars to random Americans or are willing to beat up Jussie Smollett for money, you can get away with almost anything.
At some level, they must have thought they were doing nothing wrong that Minnesota politicians and police wouldn’t save them from. Otherwise, why drive to a police station?
No doubt, Minnesota’s political class will rally around these two, and perhaps have cocktails with them or something.
Ironically, all they had done before this, it seems, was overstay a student visa, unless they were into other dirty business that has not yet been revealed.
Now they are in federal custody. Not a smart play, I would say. But something tells me neither of these two is a genius.
