Minnesota Somali scandal: Tom Homan doubles down on Trump's 'garbage' comment, 'agree with Prez…'

Описание: As criticism mounted over President Donald Trump’s “garbage” remark about Somali immigrants, White House border czar Tom Homan stepped in to defend him. On Sunday, Homan said that Minnesota was home to a large illegal Somali community despite local officials’ comments that the vast majority of Somalis in the US were American citizens, Reuters reported. He denied that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement had stepped up its deportation campaign in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in response to Trump’s comments last week about Somali immigrants, whom the President called “garbage” that should be removed from the country. Homan also said ICE agents were not targeting people based on their appearance. “I’m not aware of what President Trump was thinking when he said that,” Homan told CNN’s “State of the Union” programme. “But I agree with President Trump. From day one, he has said we are concentrated on public safety threats and national security threats.” “We also know there’s a large illegal Somali community there, that there’s a large illegal alien community there,” he said, without providing evidence. “We’re going to arrest every illegal alien that we find there.”
