An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Condemn Trump's Racist Incitement Against Minnesota's Somali Community

You need to publicly and forcefully condemn Trump's recent Truth Social post inciting violence against Minnesota's Somali community. This isn't political rhetoric — it's a sitting president calling on white Minnesotans to turn on their neighbors. That demands a response from every elected official in this state. The claims driving this incitement are flat-out lies. Somali residents make up under 2 percent of Minnesota's population. Minnesota's violent crime rate dropped 13 percent from 2024 to 2025, and total crimes are down roughly 22 percent since 2018. The state has a lower violent crime rate than Florida, Texas, and every surrounding state. There is no crisis — only a manufactured one, built on racism and designed to win midterm elections. Trump has been targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota's Somali community since at least 2019. This escalation is deliberate. Silence from elected officials is complicity. Stand up, say clearly that this incitement is unacceptable, and use whatever platform and power you have to protect every Minnesotan — regardless of where they were born.
