Tensions are escalating as President Donald Trump unleashes a second consecutive day of incendiary remarks targeting Somali immigrants and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar. Trump claimed Somali immigrants have “destroyed Minnesota” and “our country,” while insisting Omar “shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman” and should “go back” to her home country — despite her being a naturalized U.S. citizen who arrived at age 12.
The remarks come as the administration launches an immigration enforcement surge in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, coinciding with renewed political focus on Minnesota’s Somali community following recent Covid-relief fraud cases involving some individuals of Somali descent. Trump’s escalation has ignited fierce national debate over racism, immigration policy, and political targeting.
