The Wall Street Journal published on 2 December 2025 an article titled "Trump Says He Doesn't Want Somali Immigrants in U.S. as ICE Plans Operation" by Michelle Hackman, Natalie Andrews, and Jack Morphet.
President Trump said he does not want immigrants from Somalia in the country ahead of an expected ICE operation in Minnesota, where the Somali American community is concentrated. Last month, Trump said he would revoke Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota.
He referred to Somali American elected member of Congress, Ilhan Omar, as "garbage." Omar responded that "his obsession with me is creepy" and "I hope he gets the help he desperately needs."
