There may be no higher art in Somalia than oral poetry, which is recited in the most remote outposts and even by militants

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) upbraided President Donald Trump for his continued attacks against Somali-Americans, calling his rhetoric "completely disgusting" and "dehumanizing" in a new interview on Sunday.

The Democratic governor of Minnesota once again knocked the president over his comments on Somali immigrants, calling the insults 'vile' and 'racist lies.'

CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz gave Gov. Tim Walz a 60-day ultimatum to "restore the integrity" of Minnesota's Medicaid program or face loss of federal funding.

Prosecutors have already charged dozens of state residents with ripping off a program designed to provide food for children during the pandemic.

Social service workers accused the governor of ignoring early red flags and punishing whistleblowers who tried to sound the alarm about a massive COVID-19-related fraud involving members of Minnesota’s Somali migrant community.

ICE arrested a Somali illegal immigrant convicted of fraud and connected to several high-profile Minnesota politicians, including former Dem vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.

The United States military has dramatically intensified its bombing campaign across Somalia, reaching 100 airstrikes by November 2025—a pace unseen since 2007 and potentially double the previous record.
