This week, President Donald Trump said he did not want Somali immigrants in the United States. He spoke at a meeting in Washington. He used strong and offensive words. At the same time, there were reports about a big immigration operation. This operation would target Somali people in Minnesota.
The President's words made many Somali people in Minnesota very worried. Local leaders tried to calm the community. The mayor of Minneapolis said, "We love you and we stand with you."
The government also recently removed special protection for some Somalis in Minnesota. This means they could be sent back to Somalia.
News reports say immigration agents plan to find and detain Somalis with deportation orders. City police said they will not help with this operation.
Somalia's Prime Minister said people should ignore the President's words. Community groups are very concerned. They say this situation is scary and could lead to mistakes.
