Reuters published on 4 December 2025 an article titled "Trump 'Garbage' Rhetoric about Somalis Draws Cheers from Administration, Silence from Republicans and Alarm from Critics" by Bianca Flowers, James Oliphant, David Hood-Nuno, and Joseph Ax.
About 76,000 people of Somali descent live in Minnesota. More than half of them were born in the United States. President Trump and members of his administration have begun describing the Somali community in derogatory language.
Comment: Any resident of the United States, Somali or otherwise, should be prosecuted for proven criminal acts. But debasing an entire ethnic community for the actions of a few bad actors is not the America that I know and love.
