President Donald Trump has stepped up rhetoric against Somali immigrants, accusing them of “destroying” the US. It’s the second day Trump’s attacked the community.
It comes as federal authorities prepare to launch an immigration crackdown, targeting hundreds of undocumented Somalis in the state of Minnesota.
Al Jazeera’s Patty Culhane has more from Washington, DC.
Trump took particular aim at Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia.
He says she should “be thrown out of the country.” Omar responded to the president’s threats.
Omar Fateh is a Minnesota State Senator. He says language matters and hateful rhetoric has consequences.
