President Trump on Friday said he is ending deportation protections for Somali immigrants in Minnesota.
The president wrote on his Truth Social platform that he was "terminating effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota."
Mr. Trump said, without providing evidence, that "Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State."
He also accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, without proof, of overseeing a state that had become a "hub of fraudulent money laundering activity."
"Send them back to where they came from," he said. "It's OVER!"
In response, Walz said in a social media post on X , "It's not surprising that the President has chosen to broadly target an entire community. This is what he does to change the subject."
