Members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community stole millions of taxpayer dollars and sent it back to Somalia into the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”

President Donald Trump announced Friday evening that he was ending deportation protections for Somali nationals living in Minnesota, declaring the change “effective immediately.”

In a Truth Social post, Trump asserted that “Minnesota, under Governor Tim Walz, has become a hub for large-scale fraud and money-laundering activity,” and said this justified his move to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali beneficiaries residing in the state.

Every one of these thieves should be thrown out of the country.

Trump terminates deportation protections for Somali nationals living in Minnesota ‘effective immediately’

The president cited ‘fraudulent money laundering activity’ in Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz

By Brie Stimson, Fox News, November 21, 2025:

President Donald Trump Friday evening said he was ending deportation protections for Somalis in Minnesota “effective immediately.”

“Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

He continued, “I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota.”

 

Trump claimed that “Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT.”

Minnesota has a sizable Somali population and the TPS program allows Somali nationals temporary legal status to live and work in the U.S. because of the dangerous conditions in the African country.
