Bashir Ali Kulmie/Somalia/Drug Trafficking

Bashir Ali Kulmie, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, was arrested during a major Homeland Security operation in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

Kulmie has been identified in public enforcement-related reporting as having a conviction for drug trafficking, reflecting involvement in the distribution or transport of controlled substances rather than simple possession. Available records describe a case in which Kulmie was implicated in a narcotics operation tied to trafficking activity, though the specific drug type and quantities are not detailed in the material that is publicly accessible.​

Kulmie was also convicted of giving a peace officer a fake name, an offense commonly charged as providing false information to law enforcement or obstructing an officer. That conviction stems from an encounter where he supplied a false identity during official questioning or arrest, hampering efforts to verify his record and immigration status. Together, these convictions connect him to both organized narcotics activity and deliberate deception of police.​

“In the face of violent attacks, ICE law enforcement arrested pedophiles, rapists, and drug traffickers in Minneapolis yesterday,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a news release. “Every single day our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities. We will not let rioters slow us down from making Minnesota safe again—something Governor Walz and Mayor Frey REFUSED to do.”
