The Guardian: Somali Americans hounded by ICE and rightwing ‘influencers’ on edge in Ohio: ‘I’m scared to go outside’. “The influencers claimed that daycare and other childcare facilities run by Somali Americans in Columbus, as in Minneapolis, are running fraudulent facilities that are misusing government funds. The state of Ohio contributes to the funding of around 5,200 childcare facilities.”

Could someone explain to me how the persecution of people on the basis of their "national origin" is not a civil rights violation?
Does the wording of the 14th Amendment bar states but not the federal government from persecuting people based on national origin?

CW: US Politics, but Amusing
Minnesota was promised to us https://africasacountry.com/2025/12/minnesota-was-promised-to-us/
The viral video that kicked it all off was a young Somali woman on TikTok claiming that Minnesota was promised to Somalis 3,000 years ago. Since then, Somalis have been joking that they want a two-state solution, that Americans have 49 other states they could choose from, so why not give them one?

So, an anarchist friend of mine who is in #Minneapolis said the #Somali community is scared, but he and other allies are looking out for them. Here's what he said about comments by the #MinneapolisPoliceChief: "Yeah, it's hard to know what to make of that, but I read it as an attempt to convince residents the MPD is on their side. Relations have been strained since the Uprising." Interesting... So that explains the comments against ICE.

#Maine - Some #LewistonME elected leaders, community members condemn #Trump's attack on #Somali #immigrants
Maine Public | By Ari Snider
Published December 3, 2025"After President Donald Trump called Somali immigrants quote 'garbage' this week, some in Maine's Somali community fear the rhetoric could spark violence.
"During a cabinet meeting Tuesday, Trump said he doesn't want Somali immigrants to be in the U.S. at all.
"It comes as immigration agents are launching an operation in #Minnesota, reportedly targeting the state's large Somali population.
"In Lewiston, Somali interpreter and nonprofit director Ifraax Saciid-Ciise said the president's attacks are jarring.
" 'I find it very hard to believe that president, who is supposed to represent everybody, all the people in the United States, [would] target a group of very vulnerable population here in America,' Saciid-Ciise said.
"She said many in the community worry Trump's words could incite violence or harassment against Somali residents.
" 'It has created a lot of fear,' she said, because people unfamiliar with the Somali community 'may take his words as real, and as a fact, and they may also target the Somali people.'
"Safiya Khalid, who served as the first Somali-American on the Lewiston city council, said in a social media post that she was quote 'deeply offended and disgusted' by the president's attacks, and called on state and local elected leaders to stand up for their Somali constituents.
"Lewiston Mayor Carl Sheline called the president's assertion that Somali immigrants contribute nothing to society 'shameful and inaccurate.'
" 'Here, Somali entrepreneurs are business owners and hard workers, creating jobs and strengthening our local economy,' Sheline said in a written statement on Wednesday. 'Their active role within our City has been instrumental in Lewiston's revitalization, making such rhetoric not only cruel but clearly false. We will continue to celebrate the contributions of all immigrants who help build a better America.'
"In a joint letter on Thursday, Democratic state representatives Mana Abdi, Deqa Dhalac, and Yusuf Yusuf also condemned Trump's statements and efforts to roll back legal protections for some Somali immigrants.
" 'The vast majority of people affected by this administration’s immigration policies are law-abiding individuals who are legitimately working to attain citizenship. Many have called #America their home for decades, raising families, contributing to our economy, and strengthening our communities,' they wrote.
