U.S. border czar Homan defends immigration crackdown on Somalis in Minnesota


White House border czar Tom Homan on Sunday defended President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Minnesota, saying the state is home to a large illegal Somali community despite local officials' comments that the vast majority of Somalis in the U.S. are American citizens. Homan denied, however, that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had stepped up its deportation campaign in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in response to Trump's comments last week about Somali immigrants, whom the president called "garbage" that should be removed from the country. "These are Americans that he is calling garbage, and we feel like there is an unhealthy obsession that he has on the Somali community and an unhealthy and creepy obsession that he has with me."
