Somalia's prime minister basically shrugged off Trump calling Somali immigrants garbage during a cabinet meeting rant, saying it was better to just ignore the insults since America still sends them around 128 million for fighting terrorists. Some Somalis back home were pissed their government stayed quiet about the disrespect, but analysts figure they need that US cash after droughts killed tens of thousands of people and wiped out aid programs.
Trump went off about how the country stinks and ramped up deportation raids targeting Somalis around Minneapolis, where most of the 79,400 Somali Minnesotans live as citizens or legal residents. The president keeps fixating on Rep Ilhan Omar and claims gangs are roaming the streets hunting for victims, even though data shows the community contributes plenty, and crime rates among immigrants stay lower than native-born Americans.
