Trump Sparks Outrage With Remarks Targeting Somali Community. President Donald Trump is facing backlash after saying he doesn't want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should ‘go back to where they came from' and calling Somalia ‘barely a country’. His remarks came as reports emerged of a planned immigration enforcement operation targeting undocumented Somalis in Minnesota's Twin Cities — home to one of the largest Somali communities in the world. Local officials warn the operation could sweep up American citizens, noting that most of the 80,000 Somali residents in the area are already US citizens. Trump also took aim at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, calling her ‘incompetent,' prompting her to fire back online, saying his fixation on her is ‘creepy’. Homeland Security denies the operation targets anyone based on race, insisting it focuses only on immigration status. The crackdown follows a recent shooting in Washington DC, which the administration has used to justify tougher measures, including plans to end Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota. Critics say the move is politically motivated and risks violating due process.
