Osman Rabe/Somalia/Drug Trafficking, Drug Possession

Somali national Osman Rabe, a criminal illegal alien, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after authorities identified him as a convicted narcotics trafficker with multiple prior drug possession offenses involving synthetic drugs and opiates. Public summaries of recent enforcement actions list Rabe as “convicted of narcotics trafficking and possession of opiates, arrested in Minneapolis,” grouping him with other offenders whose records include serious violent and drug-related crimes.

Following his arrest in Minneapolis, Rabe was transferred into federal custody, where his history of selling synthetic narcotics, possessing dangerous drugs, and holding opium or its derivatives is being reviewed alongside his immigration status. Officials handling his case are weighing the full pattern of trafficking and repeated drug possession as they consider further criminal exposure and the likelihood of his removal from the United States once proceedings conclude.
