Trump Targets Somali-Americans, Alleges Minnesota Election Fraud

U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly accused Somali-Americans in Minnesota of committing "massive fraud." He also criticized the country of Somalia in a verbal attack on Tuesday. The president singled out U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar, a Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota and a Somali refugee. He made the allegations without providing specific evidence. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States. It is also a key battleground state in the upcoming presidential election. Trump's comments have intensified political tensions in the state. They follow his previous criticisms of Representative Omar and Somali immigration.
