Mariama Sia Kanu/Sierra Leone/Homicide, Driving Under The Influence, Larceny

Coverage of her case notes that she remained in Minnesota under the unexecuted removal order until she was recently taken into federal custody during an operation targeting noncitizens with serious criminal records. Public reporting describes her as one of the most serious offenders in that sweep, citing the combination of repeated drunk‑driving offenses, multiple homicide convictions and a series of theft and burglary crimes.
