This is just Crazy Trump using these immigrants the same way that the Nazis used Jews to rally support by using hate.

You are right about Trump using this to divert from his Epstein problem, and also the right wing press has sensationalized this matter to the point of distorting the facts with exaggerations. .Just more trump diversion from the Epstein files, and magas are eating it up.
"An estimated 260,000 people of Somali descent were living in the U.S. in 2024, according to the Census Bureau's annual American Community Survey. The largest population is in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, home to about 84,000 residents, most of whom are American citizens.
Almost 58% of the Somalis in Minnesota were born in the U.S. Of the foreign-born Somalis in Minnesota, an overwhelming majority –- 87% — are naturalized U.S. citizens.
While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a social media post Monday that his agency is investigating whether "hardworking Minnesotans' tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization," little evidence has emerged so far to prove a link. Federal prosecutors have not charged any of the dozens of defendants in recent public program fraud cases in Minnesota with providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations.
Last month, Trump said he was terminating Temporary Protected Status for Somali migrants in Minnesota, a legal safeguard against deportation. A report produced for Congress in August put the number of Somalis covered by the program at just 705 nationwide. The announcement drew immediate pushback from some state leaders and immigration experts, who characterized Trump's declaration as a legally dubious effort to sow fear and suspicion."

Like what is said in the article, plenty of accusations, and not much else, and also, 9 billion dollars sounds like that figure is a bit far fetched.A CBS affiliate in Minnesota also has uncovered evidence from security videos that the daycare Shirley videoed was occupied.

No, this is about Trump driving the Left crazier than they usually are because the Left is now defending ILLEGAL immigrants who are CRIMINALS and shouldn't be in the US at all.
Your comparison to Nazi actions is a fallacy fallacy in that first, Jews weren't the only group targeted but rather a wide variety based on their not fitting into Hitler's plan for the German state. At no point were the Nazis attempting to arrest and remove criminal aliens of the sort that plague many nations today.

81% of these non black hard working immigrants are on Welfare???? Yet, a vast majority as reported are driving BMW, Lexus, etc. Forget about the fraud stuff, MN had become a meca for Somalians to game the federal welfare system. 37% of Somalia's GDP comes from MN immigrants sending money over there. Why this is being ignored, only God knows. If these were Americans, but especially negro's, who by the way are demonized for being on welfare, but if this was us stealing all this money, white folk would be having epic meltdowns. These immigrants have literally taking over portions of MN and have made it their own and nobody outside of them are allowed to enter or thrive there, that's a fuckin problem.

Friend if you don't find it a problem that 81% of these immigrants in MN are on welfare, that oddly enough 37% of their own country's GDP comes from Somali immigrants?? Than you as are most liberals, are being foolish. I hate Trump and the GOP, but wrong is wrong is wrong and nobody is using these ppl, they are in fact taking advantage of our nations generosity and social programs.

America's open border policies have been abused, misused and have put states and local politicians hostages to their numbers and demands. There is nothing wrong with immigrants coming to this country the legal way and finding a space to prosper, but lately these immigrants literally TAKE OVER CITIES, TAKE OVER OUR POLITICAL LANDSCAPE AND MAKE IT THEIR OWN, LIKE FUCK AMERICA.
