Trump Demands Mass Arrests in Rage Post, Fuels Outrage and Calls for Action
Following the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Donald Trump called for mass arrests within Minnesota’s Somali community on Truth Social. Citing a report about cash transfers from Minneapolis airport to Somalia, Trump labeled the community as “criminals.” This post builds upon Trump’s previous derogatory remarks towards the Somali community, which escalated after claims of fraudulent activities in Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota were amplified by Trump allies. These claims prompted the FBI to allocate resources for further investigation.
