#Trump amplified another [hateful] user’s caption— “Every girl is in a hijab…in kindergarten.”
The faces of the young #children were clearly visible in the video shared with Trump’s 12.9 million followers. Members of the #Somali community said that exposure could open the door to attacks on some of the community’s most vulnerable members. The replies to Trump’s post quickly filled with anti - #Muslim invectives, including one user who called the children “future terrorists.” -

“None of the bereaved families have yet been contacted by US officials or the #Somali government.
An apology appears improbable, despite the seeming failure to adequately distinguish civilians being a violation of international law.
Compensation seems unlikely.
The US maintains a $3m (£2.2m) annual budget to compensate civilians for drone deaths but nothing has been paid out to Somali families.” -

If FIFA officials are denied entry because they're from Somalia, not fans. Another mistake of mixing games with politics.

Somali Americans hounded by ICE and rightwing ‘influencers’ on edge in #Ohio: ‘I’m scared to go outside’
ICE launched ‘Operation Buckeye’ and ‘influencers’ claimed Somalis are running fraudulent businesses after #Trump repeatedly used racist language against group
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/09/ohio-ice-somali-communityfrom #TheGuardian
March 9, 2026#ICE agents have been turning up in cars around Somali-owned businesses and schools that teach children from immigrant backgrounds. Rightwing so-called “influencers”, including leaders at #TurningPointUSA, have followed suit.
Since then, Somali-owned businesses have struggled to attract customers and schools have closed due to low attendance fueled by the presence of federal agents and anti- #immigrant provocateurs.
Today, the #Somali community in #Columbus, which numbers around 60,000 people, is still reeling from the fallout.

How soon people forget...
A century ago, #FrancoAmericans were targeted in #Maine like today’s #Somali #immigrants
Opinion by Tommy Pinette, March 3, 2026
"Two years ago, I learned the infamous #KuKluxKlan exploded in popularity throughout Maine during its resurgence in the 1920s. Across the United States, the terrorist group amassed hundreds of thousands of new followers in a rather clever dissemblance as a community service and fraternal organization. At one point, in fact, approximately 30% of Maine’s native-born population were enrolled members of the KKK. Yet they did not target Somali-Americans, people on work visas, or permanent residents from Africa — they vehemently attacked the people we now call Franco-Americans.
"Prominent Franco communities in #LewistonME, #RumfordME, #OldTownME, #AugustaME, and #WatervilleME, called 'petits Canadas,' became targets of violence for the #KKK.
"One local history of the Franco-American community of Old Town recounts a horrific stand-off at French Island: holding torches and weapons, a mob of angry klansmen attempted to cross the bridge onto the island in order to burn it down. Only the rapid efforts of men in the community to block the bridge physically kept the island from going up in flames.
"And yet, I hear many of my Franco relatives talk poorly about immigrants. They repeat similar slogans to the ones President Donald Trump spreads about immigrants who come from Africa, particularly those from East Africa: “they shouldn’t be here … Somalia is not even a country” Animus defines how many Franco-Americans understand immigrants, the people who stand in the very same place their ancestors once stood a couple generations ago.
"Do not forget that our #WhitePrivilege came at a great historical cost in the forms of systemic French language suppression, decades of shameful stereotypes, and barriers to higher education. For almost 70 years, the state of Maine had a legislative policy of only offering public education in English. We must remember our ancestors, the memères and pepères who endured the same xenophobic insults immigrants in America face today."

‘A Tedious, Tiresome Performance’ — #Trump’s #SOTU
There are just too many bad moments to choose from. Was the worst one of the many instances where he gave lurid descriptions of pain & suffering? Was it when he began to hand out awards like reality TV prizes? Or was it when he tried to write Democrats out of the political community? If I have to choose, I’d say the braying #racism against #Somali Americans—it would not have been out of place in a DW Griffith film.

#DemocracyNow - #ImmigrantRights Leader in #Maine Says #ICERaids Caused Panic & “Wave of Fear”
February 03, 2026
"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

We Stand with Congresswoman #IlhanOmar
Trump’s Anti-#Somali Bigotry Behind Physical Attack on #US Representative
https://world-outlook.com/2026/01/30/we-stand-with-congresswoman-ilhan-omar/from #WorldOutlook
January 30, 2026The congresswoman did not cower behind the lectern. She instinctively lunged at her attacker with defiance and a raised fist. The shock from the assault notwithstanding, she quickly composed herself and continued her talk, brushing aside efforts by her staff and security who tried to persuade her to retreat.
“I’m built that way,” Omar said calmly as she left the community room at Urban League Twin Cities after her event, reminding a CNN reporter that she was a survivor of war.
Faced with such racist bullying, Omar showed the value of dignity and determination. All those resisting the #Trump-inspired anti-#immigrant terror can learn from her conduct. She stood tall and channeled her ire into her message.
