President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging Minnesota residents to 'fight back' against the state's Somali immigrant population. In his post, Trump claimed the state is being 'taken over' and characterized by 'violence, murder, and mayhem.' He criticized Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, offering federal assistance to intervene in the state. The rhetoric follows a history of tension between the administration and Minnesota's Somali community, which is the largest in the U.S., amid previous reports of fraud in social service programs and a recent FBI-foiled terror plot at the Mall of America.
