The Trump administration will revoke temporary protected status for thousands of Somali nationals in the United States in the face of White House claims that the diaspora community in Minnesota participated in widespread fraud, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday.
Noem told Fox News that Somalis with temporary protected status would be required to leave the country by March 17. She argued that conditions in Somalia have improved and added that “allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interest. We are putting Americans first.”
In a separate social media post, the Department of Homeland Security wrote: “Our message is clear. Go back to your own country, or we’ll send you back ourselves.”
The move would affect thousands of Somalis in the United States, though not the majority of the U.S. Somali community, many of which are already permanent residents or U.S. citizens. Yet the announcement comes as the federal government ramps up its immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota, the state with the largest Somali population in the United States.
Man, some people want to be a victim so badly they’ll reach for absolutely anything. The protests were about government violence and the indifference from lawmakers. Only a conservative cry bully could turn that into “I’m being attacked because I’m white”
Affirmative action is precisely not that, you’re again being extremely hyperbolic and exiting the realm of facts to justify your victim complex. Your last sentence is just more laying out of your insistence that helping people is about hurting others. If there’s a zero sum game in America, it’s not between races, it’s between classes. Any other example that might actually be 1 to 1 and not 1 to 0?
