In Minnesota, Somali Americans are experiencing heightened anxiety following remarks made by President Trump, who referred to them as “garbage.”
The situation has escalated with recent ICE raids throughout the state, resulting in over a dozen arrests.
In response to these developments, many members of the Somali community are now carrying their U.S. passports as a precautionary measure to safeguard against potential wrongful arrests.
This trend reflects the growing concerns within the community regarding immigration enforcement and the impact of political rhetoric on their safety and security.
