Trump Tells Minnesota to 'Fight' Somali Immigrants Amid Alleged ISIS Plot
Trump has long railed against the state's Governor, Tim Walz, with his administration carrying out widespread immigration raids.
President Donald Trump urged Minnesotans to fight back against Somali immigrants in their state, following the announcement of charges against a Somali American man accused of plotting a terror attack at the Mall of America. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the state was being overrun by Somali immigrants, citing violence, murder, and mayhem throughout Minnesota.
He accused Democratic Governor Tim Walz of incompetence, stating that Walz and St. Paul Mayor Jacob Frey needed to ask for federal assistance. The charges stem from allegations that 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, a U.S. citizen of Somali heritage, spoke to an online source about traveling to Somalia to join a terrorist organization and carry out an attack in Minnesota.
