Abdirashid Ahmed/Somalia/Negligent Vehicular Homicide, Drunk Driving

Somali national Abdirashid Ahmed, a criminal illegal alien, was arrested in Saint Paul, Minnesota, after authorities identified him as a noncitizen convicted in a fatal drunk‑driving crash that resulted in negligent vehicular homicide. Public summaries of recent enforcement activity list Ahmed as “convicted of negligent vehicular homicide and DUI, arrested in Saint Paul,” noting that his case involved killing a victim while driving under the influence of alcohol.

Following his arrest in Saint Paul, Ahmed was turned over to federal custody because of his homicide and DUI record and an existing deportation order tied to that conviction. Officials handling his case are weighing the deadly crash, his drunk‑driving history, and his lack of lawful status as they move forward with detention, additional immigration charges, and preparations for his removal from the United States.
