Donald Trump Says He'd Denaturalize US Citizens 'In a Heartbeat'

13. Trump like the racist he is, wants to ruin the lives of all MN Somalis over a few listed among many others in ONE

fraud case. He'll do that to every non-white demographic across this country next.

In political engagement, Somali Americans in Minnesota have become a significant political force, building community infrastructure, advocacy groups, and cultural centers since their arrival in the 1990s. The community has elected several members to local and state offices, including U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, the first Somali American in Congress.

Economic analyses show that the community contributes significantly to the state's economy. One study cited an estimated $500 million in Somali income and $67 million annually in state and local taxes, with a total economic impact estimated at about $8 billion. Many arrived seeking job opportunities and found work in various industries, including meatpacking, using their social networks to establish themselves.

As for their citizenship, the overwhelming majority of Somalis in Minnesota are U.S. citizens or legal residents who went through legal refugee resettlement processes and background checks.

A significant controversy involves a large-scale fraud scheme where over $250 million in federal children's food aid was reportedly stolen by a small group of individuals, some of whom were Somali. This case has led to criticism and increased scrutiny of the community and state social service programs. And Trump/Noem attacks on MN.

Overall, many Minnesotans describe their Somali neighbors as "hardworking, family-oriented, deeply committed to Minnesota" people who are vital parts of their communities.
