Said Elmi/Somalia/Burglary

Said Elmi, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, following a conviction for burglary. Public information available for this case identifies Elmi as having unlawfully entered a property with the intent to commit a crime, conduct that fits the legal definition of burglary under most state statutes.​

Local and federal officers coordinated to take Elmi into custody after confirming both his criminal record and his immigration status. Officials have not released additional details about the original burglary incident, such as the precise location, the date of the offense, or whether any property was recovered. Authorities have also not publicly described any other charges or convictions beyond the burglary case referenced in available records. Elmi is currently being held pending immigration proceedings that will determine whether he will be removed from the United States once his case is fully adjudicated.
