Criminal records and ICE/immigration records confirm the listed arrests/charges and a final order of removal issued in 2022 for Mohamud Farah Mohamed.
The Department of Homeland Security’s own January 12, 2026 press release on Operation Metro Surge states that “[Mohamud Farah Mohamed…has] arrests for multiple counts of credit card fraud, drug possession, controlled substance possession, and drug trafficking” and that he “was issued a final order of removal in 2022.” Multiple news reports (e.g., Valley News Live and AOL News) repeat these details and attribute them directly to DHS, but they do not provide independent documentation.
Publicly accessible Minnesota and federal court databases available via general web search do not clearly surface matching criminal case records tied to this exact name, and individual immigration removal orders are generally not public, making direct verification difficult. Because all currently available reporting traces back to DHS itself, and independent primary documentation of the specific arrests and the 2022 final removal order cannot be located through open sources, the statement cannot be fully verified at this time.
The verdict is Unclear because the claim is strongly asserted by DHS and echoed in secondary reporting, but there is no independently verifiable primary evidence (such as court or immigration records) available in public sources to conclusively confirm the arrests and the 2022 final order of removal.
