Donald Trump was embarrassed on air
Donald Trump is known for his controversial remarks – but even he appeared caught off guard when a reporter challenged him on air with a straightforward question he struggled to answer.

The uncomfortable exchange happened as the president announced he is ordering a review of Somalia green cards – alongside those from 18 other nations he described as “of concern.” It marks the most recent development in a series of actions threatening the legal standing of Somali residents in Minnesota.

The controversy erupted shortly after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members in Washington D.C., resulting in one death and leaving the other in critical condition. During the discussion, Trump asserted he was taking action against Minnesota’s Somali community, stating, “If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.”

Within hours of the shooting, Trump redirected his attention to Minnesota’s Somali population, utilizing his national address to accuse them of destabilizing the state. “Hundreds of thousands of Somalians [sic] are ripping off our country and ripping apart that once great state,” he asserted.

He echoed the claim days earlier on Truth Social, vowing he would end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis – something he lacks the authority to do unilaterally. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has confirmed that there is no set timeline for ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali residents in Minnesota.

President Trump’s renewed interest seems to be influenced by activist Christopher Rufo, who claimed responsibility in a post on November 21. Rufo co-wrote an article for City Journal alleging that fraudulent funds from Minnesota were channeled to the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

However, this claim has been met with significant skepticism. The Office of the Legislative Auditor previously examined similar allegations and stated it was “unable to substantiate” any link between fraudulent money and terrorism. The review further noted that while many scenarios were “possible,” there was no concrete evidence to suggest that stolen funds were intentionally sent to a terrorist organization.

The City Journal article centers on the Feeding Our Future scandal – the largest pandemic-related fraud case in the US – where dozens of defendants, including some Somali nationals, were charged. Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR Minnesota, accused the report of being politically motivated.

“This story has no legs. Actions of any individual do not represent any community,” he said. He emphasized that prosecutors believe the defendants acted out of greed, stating, “We believe that this is a targeted campaign, as we said earlier, against our community.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has expressed his openness to a federal investigation into whether any fraudulent funds ever reached Al-Shabaab. Due to Somalia’s lack of a fully functioning national registry and large regions under militia control, Western officials have long cautioned that verifying identities or filtering out individuals with extremist ties can be challenging during the resettlement processes.
