Minneapolis Mayor Condemns Trump's Remarks on Somali Community
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has publicly rejected former President Donald Trump's recent comments about the city's Somali population. The mayor's statement comes amid broader concerns over a proposed national immigration operation. Speaking to local media, Mayor Frey affirmed the city's commitment to its residents. He specifically pledged support for the Somali community, one of the largest in the United States. The response follows a campaign speech where Trump criticized Minneapolis and made sweeping allegations about its Somali immigrants. These remarks have heightened anxiety among immigrants nationwide.
