Donald Trump on Tuesday called Somali immigrants âgarbageâ and said they should be sent back home in a rant that came as the administration is reportedly increasing immigration enforcement against undocumented Somalis in Minnesota.
In a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting, Trump went off on Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the congressional representative who is from
Somalia and is a US citizen. He said Somalia âstinksâ and is âno good for a reasonâ.
âThey contribute nothing. I donât want them in our country, Iâll be honest with you,â he said. He called Omar âgarbageâ and said âweâre going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our countryâ.
âThese are people who do nothing but complain,â he said. âThey complain, and from where they came from, they got nothing ⊠When they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we donât want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.â
