A Somali American woman who went viral for describing her identity as "bananas and rice" was one of 16 people arrested in Minneapolis and accused of participating in a riot as federal authorities escalated enforcement after clashes with protesters.
The woman, Nasra Ahmed, 23, of Minnesota, rose to national prominence after remarks she made during a Jan. 21 news conference comparing Somali American identity to a cultural mix she described as "bananas and rice," a phrase that quickly spread across social media.
"It’s kind of like bananas and rice," Ahmed said. "People don’t think you can eat bananas with rice, but that’s what it’s like to be Somali and American."
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday she is in Minneapolis as federal authorities step up enforcement after recent unrest involving federal law enforcement, announcing the arrest of 16 people accused of assaulting or impeding federal agents.
"I am on the ground in Minneapolis today," Bondi wrote on X. "Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement rights.
"We expect more arrests to come," Bondi added. "I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: NOTHING will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law."

Kamalala writers working on the side?
Down in Cuba and in other Caribbean countries, fried bananas (plátanos) are eaten with rice.
Odd! I guess the Hadiths are true, women of islam are deficient in religion(period) and intelligence(witness) !
Nasra Ahmed has minimal cognitive function.
She is a bruised, subjugated breeder.
Her speech proves it.
Not an American woman.
Sounds like it must have been a two bottle lunch?.
Inbreeding hasn’t worked well for Bananas and Rice.
This is NOT, I REPEAT NOT "A Bananas and rice zone."
This a LOW IQ ZONE of 68..........
