Trump takes aim at Somalis as feds prep for Minneapolis operation

(NewsNation) — In its latest immigration crackdown, the Trump administration will head to Minneapolis, targeting Somali immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

The city is home to more than 80,000 people of Somali descent. News of the operation comes as President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against the community, saying he did not want immigrants from Somalia in the U.S. because “they contribute nothing.”

Trump also continued his attacks on Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, [pictured here]  who is of Somali descent, saying during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday that Omar is “an incompetent person.”

It also comes as some in the community are under fraud investigations, including allegations that millions of dollars from Minnesota state welfare programs instead went to a terrorist group called al-Shabab in Somalia.

Omar told NewsNation she felt Trump’s comments on the Somali community were “totally irresponsible.”

Minneapolis POLST Event

By Julie Grimstad  

On September 11, at a HALO event in Minneapolis, I addressed concerns about Hospice. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to answer all the questions attendees asked. People who ask questions deserve answers. Furthermore, when one person asks a question, it is likely that others are interested in the answer as well.

The 10/24/25 HALO Voice Alert answered questions about Nutrition and Hydration. Today, I will tackle questions about POLST (Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment), a healthcare advance directive used extensively throughout the United States. It has various names and acronyms, but they all can be hazardous to your life.

WARNING:

+ All POLST forms reduce complicated medical decisions to a “check the box” format and are slanted toward encouraging refusal of life-saving and life-preserving treatment and care, resulting in avoidable deaths.
