“Oh, Minnesota,” #Trump told the crowd, dropping into the just-you-&-me-talking mode that has always been one of his greatest assets as a politician. “You know what’s going on. You know what I’m talking about. Do you know what I’m talking about? Be politically correct. Just nod — quietly nod. The whole world knows what’s happening in #Minnesota.”

What was happening in #Minnesota then was a tension surrounding the state’s #Somali community, its 2nd-largest #immigrant population. In 2008, a young Somalia-born man from #Minneapolis was recruited by the Somali Islamist militant group Al Shabab & detonated a car bomb outside a govt building in his birth country’s Puntland region, the first of dozens of young men from the community who would fight for Al Shabab in Somalia &, later, for the #IslamicState in Iraq & Syria over the next decade.

Federal agents use chemical irritant on crowd in #Somali neighbourhoods of #Minneapolis amid #Trump crackdown
“Armed #ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant & demanded papers.
Federal agents also entered East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN.
They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers.
Everyone present was a US citizen.”

Trump’s anti #Somali rants are not directed only at that group. All #Black / #African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful #criminals who are deserving of punishment & scorn. He isn't alone in this thinking.
