Traveling to Minnesota to stigmatize and demonize Somali refugees and Somali-American immigrants is disgusting. And obviously dangerous.

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to the nation’s largest community of Somali Americans, and Trump came in hopes of turning their neighbors against them.
“Here in Minnesota, you’ve seen firsthand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with very large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval,” Trump told the crowd at his rally in an airplane hangar near the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Exploiting isolated incidents to suggest that the predominantly Muslim Somali community poses a threat—with “some of them joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world”—Trump claimed: “You don’t even have the right to talk about it. You don’t even know who’s coming in. You’ll find out. You’ll find out.”
