President Trump told reporters directly that he does not want Somali immigrants in the United States — saying they contribute nothing and urging them to go back to where they came from and fix it.

The Trump administration then ended Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals — with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem delivering the message in four words that left no room for interpretation — “Temporary means temporary.” Trump also vowed to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized Somali immigrant convicted of defrauding American citizens — a move that has sent shockwaves through Minnesota’s large Somali community and reignited one of the most heated immigration debates in the country. He said it out loud. He signed the order. And Washington is still deciding how it feels about both.
