Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) celebrated Somali Independence Day, stating that the people of Minneapolis “stand with” Somali immigrants.
In a post on X, Frey shared a video in which he stated that the Somali community in Minneapolis was seen as “family” and not as immigrants. In his post, Frey wrote that Minneapolis celebrated “the resilience, culture, and leadership that continue to enrich” the city and community.
“Through the most difficult of times and through Operation Metro Surge, we all saw that they tried to come for some of us,” Frey said. “And, when that happens, we say that you’re coming for all of us. In Minneapolis, we love our neighbors. In Minneapolis, we do not see you as immigrants, we see you as our family.”
Frey continued, “You are our brothers, you are our sisters. You have done so much for this incredible city, and for that, we stand with you.”
According to Kare11 News, Somali Independence Day takes place on July 1, which represents “when the Somali people united to break free from European colonial rule.”
Several people such as conservative commentator Matt Van Swol and independent journalist Nick Sortor took to social media to point out that “the Somali community in Minnesota alone stole $250 million from federal child nutrition programs.”
“The Somali community in Minnesota alone stole $250 million from federal child nutrition programs meant to feed hungry underprivileged children” Van Swol wrote in a post on X. ”
“Are you really too stupid to understand the Somalis simply see you as their useful idiot?” Sortor asked.

Frey has got to be in on the Grift, Big Time.
The common Somali is so much better off since they gained their independence.
/S
Khat is plentiful and you can shoot anyone you want, no problem.
Wrong. My brother and sister are those who do the will of God.
These people worship and serve the false god of Allah, they are NOT my brothers and sisters.
They could be, but first would have to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. THAT is the truth, Mr. Frey.
Criminapolis standing with crimmigrants? What other way would it be?
“”Somali Independence Day takes place on July 1, which represents “when the Somali people united to break free from European colonial rule.””
That didn’t work out so well, did it? Probably for the Somalis but the rest of the world??
“In Minneapolis, we do not see you as immigrants, we see you as our family.”
Especially with the learing centers.
They’d probably been better off if they had kept colonial rule. Oh, was i not supposed to say that? /s
Frey continued, “You are our brothers, you are our sisters. You have done so much for this incredible city, and for that, we stand with you.”
So, he believes in incest, crime, and sexual assault. He is a true Renaissance man.
It's kind of Mayor Frey to celebrate their independence! Perhaps, next year, when they are all back home, he can fly over to Mogadishu for the festivities.
Why? It’s counterintuitive. It’s a lefty phenomenon and besides self loathing of America, I can’t understand the “why”?. Where are these ideas being launched from, and why?
And now we're flooding them into our country and even putting them into our government. Can American voters be more stupid or are we trying to destroy ourselves, our kids and grand-kids AND our future???
BTW - That first Muslim president Obama said he "had a plan for America" .... and it was NOT for our good!
He speaks while the Scamalis pick his pockets clean
Yes sounds like getting in on the ground floor for any business operation with them.
Voting will NOT fix this.
They should be celebrating US Independence from Britain since it led to the creation of the greatest nation on earth and the country that has absorbed more people fleeing their hellacious nations of origin than any other nation on the planet. Such hypocrisy and ingratitude on the part of these 'refugees' to celebrate anything about any other nation aside from the United States. Even worse when US-born politicians do so just to pander.
If their country is free, why did they leave
YES. Frey, Ellison, Walz and others should fry. Domestic enemies looting with foreign enemies.
Odds there’s no recognition of the Fourth of July.
