Homan defends Trump's 'garbage' remark, falsely claims Minnesota has 'large illegal Somali community'

White House border czar Tom Homan defended President Trump's 'garbage' remark about Somali immigrants, stating a focus on public safety and national security threats. Homan claimed Minnesota has a 'large illegal Somali community' without providing evidence. He vowed to 'arrest all illegal aliens found' while denying that ICE enforcement was stepped up in response to Trump's comments. The claim contradicts documented facts: the vast majority of Minnesota's approximately 80,000 Somalis are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized Trump's comments as 'disgusting' and an 'unhealthy obsession.' As of December 7, at least 19 people had been arrested in 'Operation Metro Surge,' with only 5 of those detained being Somali.
