Suleiman Adan, deputy executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Minnesota (CAIR-MN), said Trump has targeted Somali communities for a long time.
“His rhetoric has painted Somalis as criminals and threats, and that language has real consequences here in Minnesota,” Adan said in a statement. “We heard from families who were afraid to go to work, parents worried about their children at school, and community members who felt watched simply because they are Somali. That kind of damage does not disappear overnight.”
