Donald Trump retweeted a post on Monday about radicalized Somalis in Minnesota, continuing a history of denigrating refugees and spreading Islamophobia.
Trump responded to the tweet by claiming he is helping Minnesota greatly and blaming his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, and former President Barack Obama for a Minnesota disaster.

The original tweet was in response to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) calling on immigration officials to stop deporting Somali refugees from her district during the COVID-19 pandemic. Omar, who came to the United States as a refugee from Somalia, has long been the subject of racist, sexist, xenophobic and Islamophobic attacks from the president and his allies.
The Minneapolis area is home to a large population of Somali refugees. During a rally in Minneapolis last fall, the presidents supporters booed when he decried the large numbers of refugees to your state from Somalia. He also called Omar a disgrace and a fraud.

Omar and our Somali immigrant community will be the target of nonstop Trump lies and attacks until Election Day.
