Donald Trump has called for mass arrests among Minnesota’s Somali community as the state reels from the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old U.S. citizen by a federal immigration agent.
“Arrest them all. They are criminals!!!” the president wrote on Truth Social early Thursday, linking to a story by right-wing outlet Just the News about cash transfers to Somalia from the Minneapolis airport.
Trump’s post comes just a day after Renee Nicole Good was shot dead in Minneapolis by an ICE agent sent to carry out immigration raids in the city, home to the largest Somali community in the United States.
The president has repeatedly attacked that same community over the past several months, describing Somalia as “filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime” and those of Somali descend as “garbage.”
