Trump Criticizes U.S. Immigration Policy as ICE Plans Minnesota Action

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized American immigration policy, stating the country will "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country." He made the comment in a recent speech, expressing opposition to admitting people from Somalia. The remarks coincide with reports of a planned operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency is preparing an enforcement action in Minnesota, which has a large Somali community. ICE operations are routine, but the timing has drawn attention following Trump's comments. The agency has not confirmed if the Minnesota action specifically targets Somali nationals. Trump has frequently used harsh language to describe immigrants. His latest statement has been condemned by immigrant advocacy groups, who call the rhetoric inflammatory and inaccurate.
