00:00President Donald Trump has launched one of his most aggressive attacks yet,
00:16this time targeting Somalian Americans,
00:19making no distinction between citizens and non-citizens.
00:23Speaking to reporters, Trump doubled down on his vow to
00:27send Somalis back to where they came from,
00:31claiming they contribute nothing to the United States and only complain.
00:36His message was blunt, loud, and unmistakable.
00:39I don't want them in our country.
00:42But he didn't stop there.
00:44Trump escalated his rhetoric, calling Somalian immigrants garbage
00:48and warning that America is taking in the wrong people.
00:52The remarks sent shockwaves across the Somalian diaspora
00:56and sparked immediate backlash from civil rights groups and lawmakers.
01:01Trump then shifted his attack toward Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar,
01:06herself a former refugee who fled Somalia's civil war as a child.
01:10He called Omar garbage, insulted her friends,
01:14and said she should go back and fix the place she came from.
01:17The president's words were personal, pointed, and dripping with hostility.
01:22Ilhan Omar responded swiftly, posting a short but sharp message online.
01:29His obsession with me is creepy.
01:32I hope he gets the help he desperately needs.
01:35This renewed attack didn't appear out of nowhere.
01:38It comes just days after Trump ended long-standing deportation protections for Somalis,
01:44protections that had been in place since 1991
01:46due to Somalia's decades-long instability.
01:51Ending those protections now potentially exposes thousands to deportation.
01:55Trump followed that policy move with another explosive claim online.
01:59That Minnesota, a state with one of the largest Somali communities in the country,
02:18had become a hub of fraudulent money-laundering activity,
02:22he offered no evidence.
02:24Almost immediately, unverified reports began circulating,
02:27alleging that nearly $1 billion had been stolen from Minnesota's welfare programs
02:33and funneled to al-Shabaab, an al-Qaeda-linked militant group in Somalia.
02:39None of these reports have been substantiated,
02:42but they exploded across social media,
02:44fueling panic and political outrage.
02:47For Somalian families in Minnesota, fear is growing.
02:51Parents worry about deportation.
02:54Students fear harassment.
02:55Community leaders warn that Trump's words are emboldening hate groups
03:00and deepening mistrust between immigrants and local authorities.
03:05State officials have pushed back firmly,
03:08calling the claims exaggerated, misleading and harmful.
03:12But the damage to public confidence and to community safety may already be done.
03:18This is not the first time Trump has attacked the Somalian immigrant community.
03:23But this time, the tone is sharper, the policies are harsher, and the stakes are higher.
03:30As the rhetoric heats up, Minnesota finds itself caught in the middle of a political battle,
03:36its Somali residents facing renewed threats,
03:39its leaders demanding evidence,
03:41and its communities bracing for what may come next.
03:45And for millions watching across the country,
03:48one question is growing louder.
03:50Is this a political message or the beginning of something much bigger?
03:55Oh, my God.
