Abdirahman Abdullahi/Somalia/Aggravated Assault With Weapon, Robbery

Somali national Abdirahman Abdullahi, a criminal illegal alien, was arrested at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, after officials identified him as a noncitizen previously convicted of aggravated assault with a weapon and robbery. Public records describing recent enforcement activity list Abdullahi among Somali offenders with serious violent histories, specifying that his record includes both an aggravated assault involving a weapon and a separate robbery conviction before his apprehension at Fort Snelling.​

After his arrest, Abdullahi was transferred into federal custody, where his prior violent convictions and immigration status place him in removal proceedings and potential further criminal review. Authorities handling his case are weighing the combination of aggravated assault and robbery as they coordinate with prosecutors on any additional charges and determine the steps that will follow his detention at Fort Snelling.
