Somali Community in Minnesota Prepares for Immigration Enforcement

Somali-Americans in Minnesota are experiencing increased fear following President Trump’s derogatory comments about their community, stating he does not want Somalis in the US. Community leaders, including Aj Awed, express concern over Trump’s remarks and the implications of ongoing immigration enforcement targeting undocumented individuals. The apprehension is heightened by allegations of fraud involving some Somali immigrants, which Trump has used to justify his criticisms. Local officials stress that while some individuals may have committed crimes, the entire Somali community should not be blamed.
