Donald Trump during a late-night Thanksgiving message on Thursday, announced that he wants to pause migration from all “Third world Countries” as well as review all Green Card holders from “Countries of Concern”.
Trump in his post on his social media handle, ‘Truth Social’ blamed the Joe Biden government, American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing America to be divided and polarised.
the United States President, made this statement in the wake of the fatal shooting in Washington D.C, on Wednesday, in which a suspected gunman is an Afghan national.
Complaining on Truth Social about America being “Politically Correct” over immigration policies, the president singled out Somalians as he reveals plans to terminate the temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota.
The president had earlier reportedly disclosed his intention to take out a lot of those he perceives as toxic out of America, adding that “Somalians have caused a lot of trouble,” and ”We’re not taking their people anymore. We’re getting a lot of their people out because they’re nothing but trouble.”
Earlier, Trump had reportedly described Minnesota as a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and said he wanted the Somalis living there sent “back to where they came from.”
Trump wrote on Thursday that there were “hundreds of thousands” of refugees from Somalia, “completely taking over” Minnesota.
“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” Trump claimed.
Trump reportedly took a swipe at the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, saying he does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”
Not content with insulting Walz, Trump then unleashed on Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia but has lived in the U.S. for 30 years.
The president labeled her “the worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our Country” and said she was “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab.”
He claimed Omar “does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country… and how ‘badly’ she is treated,” calling her “place of origin” a “decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation,” according to the Daily Beast.
Th Daily Beast has contacted Walz’s and Omar’s offices for comment.
Trump has effectively put the blame of Wednesday’s shooting at former President Joe Biden’s immigration policy for the arrival of the Afghan national who is the suspect at the fatal shooting in Washington, D.C.
The suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan man who has lived in Washington since 2021 after fleeing the Taliban takeover of the country. According to CNN report, the suspect applied for asylum in 2024, but was not granted it until April 2025, ironically, under the Trump’s administration.
Trump berated the Americans for being “just plain stupid” when it comes to immigration, adding that most immigrants in the U.S. are on “welfare, from failed nations or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels,” and were being supported through “massive” welfare payments from “patriotic” Americans, “who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form.”
