We don’t want them: Donald Trump tells Somalis to return home, calls Ilhan Omar garbage - India Today
Former US President Donald Trump reignited controversy after telling Somali immigrants in the United States to “go back” if they disagree with his views, while sharply criticising Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Speaking at a political event, Trump accused some Somali refugees of refusing to integrate and claimed they were bringing problems to American communities. He also described Omar, a Somali-born US lawmaker, as “garbage,” intensifying the long-running tensions between them. Trump argued that his statements were about national security and cultural protection, though critics say his remarks fuel division and target minority communities. The comments quickly drew nationwide attention, with political analysts noting that Trump is increasingly using immigration as a central campaign message. Omar and several community leaders condemned his rhetoric, calling it dangerous and inflammatory. The incident has sparked renewed debate over immigration, identity, and political messaging ahead of the US election season.
