Young girls in Minnesota are suffering irreversible harm in silence, even though state law has called the act a felony for more than thirty years. Female genital mutilation—cutting or removing parts of a girl’s external genitalia for cultural reasons—continues inside tight-knit Somali immigrant families, shielded by shame, family pressure, and official reluctance to look too closely. Despite a documented survivor population in the state and a national estimate exceeding half a million affected women and girls, Minnesota prosecutors have secured zero convictions. ...

“They tied my hands and my legs,” she recalled. “I remember being held down. I remember the pain—and knowing I could not escape.” She fought back hard enough to interrupt the procedure before it was finished, but the damage was done. The wound was washed with salt water. Years later, as a grown woman in Minnesota, Abdalla needed surgery, endured multiple miscarriages, and faced excruciating difficulties with intimacy. Today she leads the Somaliweyn Relief Agency, determined to break the code of silence that protects the practice. ...
The numbers explain why Minnesota sits at the center of this American failure. Somalia reports a 98 percent prevalence rate among women and girls ages 15 to 49, according to United Nations figures. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the United States, and federal estimates from more than a decade ago already placed tens of thousands of women and girls here at risk or already cut.
A CDC-supported study between 2019 and 2021 identified Minneapolis as one of four U.S. metro areas with a significant survivor population. Yet the Minnesota Department of Health does not track specific FGM cases, and no state agency publishes enforcement data. ...
Evil
Minnesota first banned the practice in 1994, making it a felony with no parental-consent defense. Congress later strengthened federal law, with President Donald Trump signing expansions in 2018 and the Stop FGM Act in 2021 to cover interstate and international travel. A 2017 federal case in Michigan involved two Minnesota girls allegedly taken across state lines for the procedure, but that prosecution collapsed on jurisdictional grounds before the statute was fixed. In Minnesota itself, court records, licensing boards, and county attorneys show a perfect record of inaction: not one documented prosecution in thirty-two years. ...
... The pattern is familiar: Minnesota authorities have hesitated before when cultural sensitivity collided with evidence of large-scale wrongdoing, whether in welfare fraud or daycare scandals. ...
Yes, evil people love hurting and mutilating children. Just like those pushing transgenderism.
And women back the dems.
It baffles the mind.
As usual, Tampon Tim to the rescue!
God sure must have infinite patience.
The 19th amendment was a horrible mistake.
Gee. Where are the feminists?
I cannot find one redeeming thing about Somalia, Somalian culture, and the hundreds of thousands of idiots They brought over here from that country.
When the Obama administration started shipping them over here, I can only compare it to taking a syringe full of all virus and basically injecting it into your bloodstream
There’s a reason the devil went to Eve and not Adam.
It’s all a part of the Gorgeous Mosaic.
Wasn’t Bush the first one to bring them here?
A rich vibrant culture and traditions bringing so my lovely contributions to the US.
They came to loot and vote Democrat.
Yes like bananas and rice.
The record shows that His patience is long, but not infinite. Sooner or later He gets tired of this sh*t and drops the hammer.
I read an account of this kind of procedure in a Readers Digest article some 35 years ago.
Even their abbreviated version was horrific.
This sounds very similar although there’s no way to know if it’s the same woman.
What a horrible existence. And what an atrocity that this isn’t addressed. But I suppose in light of how democrats do their father’s bidding of stealing, killing, and destroying, it’s hardly a surprise they aren’t objecting to mutilation of girls.
Feminists are such hypocrites in that they aren’t addressing and condemning this practice. Heck, I see far more outrage over circumcising baby boys than I ever saw or heard about this barbaric, despicable practice that GIRLS have to endure.
OMG! And women actually advocate this godawful practice. Un”freakin”believable.
Something to look forward to.
