Donald Trump says Minnesota is "being taken over by Somali Immigrants"
“being taken over by Somali Immigrants”
Reported October 27, 2026 by thenation.com. Checked word for word against that report.
Days before Homeland Security agents searched U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home, President Donald Trump posted that Somali immigration was reshaping Minnesota and encouraged residents to resist, the article says. Minnesota has the country’s largest Somali American community, and Omar is the first Somali American elected to Congress. She has not been charged; the administration says it is investigating whether she obtained citizenship fraudulently after coming from Somalia at age 12, including contested claims about her father’s paperwork and her former husband. The Wall Street Journal reported, and border official Tom Homan confirmed, that officials were considering denaturalization and removal—an unprecedented step against a sitting member of Congress.
