Trump's 'Garbage' Remarks Spark Outrage
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Former President Donald Trumps recent remarks about Somali immigrants, particularly Representative Ilhan Omar, have sparked controversy. Trump referred to Somali immigrants as garbage and singled out Omar, who arrived in the U.S. in 1995. He made these comments while discussing Minnesotas social services fraud scandal involving some Somali individuals. Trump suggested they go back and fix it. Omar responded on social media, calling his obsession with her creepy. Minnesota officials, including Mayors Carter and Frey, pushed back against Trumps statements, emphasizing the Somali communitys contributions to the state. The Minnesota Star Tribune editorial board called Trumps remarks beyond reprehensible, and the Somali government largely remained silent. This situation highlights ongoing immigration policies and rhetoric surrounding immigrant communities in the U.S.
