The exact scope and duration of the operation are not clear so far.<\/p>\n<p>The crackdown comes as Mr. Trump castigates Minnesota&#8217;s large community of Somali immigrants, regularly pointing to the country \u2014 often in incendiary terms \u2014 as a justification for his administration&#8217;s sweeping mass deportation campaign.<\/p>\n<p>During a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, Mr. Trump called people from Somalia &#8220;garbage&#8221; and claimed they &#8220;contribute nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want them in our country.

The president has blamed Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for the fraud schemes and claimed Somali migrants have &#8220;ripped off that state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Democratic officials and members of Minnesota&#8217;s Somali community have denounced Mr. Trump&#8217;s statements, with Walz on Thursday <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/live-updates\/ice-somali-immigrants-minneapolis-st-paul\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">calling them<\/a><\/span> &#8220;vile, racist lies and slander towards our fellow Minnesotans.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not garbage,&#8221; Hamse Warfa, a Somali-born entrepreneur who lives in the Minneapolis area and runs a nationwide education nonprofit, told <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/live-updates\/ice-somali-immigrants-minneapolis-st-paul\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS News Minnesota<\/a><\/span>. &#8220;I&#8217;m a proud American citizen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota has one of the country&#8217;s largest Somali populations, with some 76,000 people of Somali descent statewide \u2014 representing just over 1% of the state&#8217;s population, according to 2024 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.<\/p>\n<p>The state&#8217;s Somali <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/somali-americans-minnesota-stories-immigration\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">community<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/minnesota-somali-american-population-good-question\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">grew<\/a><\/span> after the East African country descended into civil war in the early 1990s, causing scores of people to flee Somalia, which still faces instability, threats of insurgency and poverty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, Somali refugees were resettled elsewhere in the U.S. before moving to Minnesota, drawn in many cases by job opportunities, safety, good schools and a longstanding network of nonprofits in the state that assist refugees, Somali American and Macalester College professor Ahmed Samatar <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/minnesota\/news\/minnesota-somali-american-population-good-question\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS News Minnesota<\/a><\/span> in 2019. Just over half of Somali Minnesotans arrived in the U.S. before 2010, and one in five moved to the U.S. before 2000.<\/p>\n<p>As of last year, the vast majority of Somali Minnesotans were American citizens. Some 52% were born in the U.S., and another 42% are naturalized citizens, leaving just over 4,000 \u2014 or more than 5% \u2014 who don&#8217;t hold U.S. citizenship, according to Census Bureau figures.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s plan to end TPS for Somali immigrants could impact a very small number of people. Just over 700 immigrants from Somalia had been approved for TPS as of March of this year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/crs-product\/RS20844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">federal government data<\/a>. The Immigrant Law Center said Minnesota was home to 430 of those Somali TPS-holders in 2023.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
