Somali gangs have become a serious and growing threat to public safety in Minnesota, with most of them being involved in violent crimes, drug trafficking, and disrupting neighborhoods, putting countless families at risk. However, left-wing politicians seem more interested in protecting politically correct narratives than reporting the hard truth.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) highlighted the growing trend of Somali gangs wreaking havoc in his state.
"Unfortunately, the failing press in Minnesota, especially in the Twin Cities, is not. These Somali gangs are incredibly dangerous," Emmer said. "We had an attack at a high school basketball game last spring where a Somali gang came in and started beating a kid on a bench with a tire iron."
Emmer also recalled a tragic shooting tied to a Somali gang that took place during a graduation ceremony at the University of Minnesota. He expressed frustration that the incident received no coverage from the Minnesota media.
"We've got Somali gangs that are causing these problems," Emmer continued, adding that he has contacted the FBI and they are taking action.
The Somali Outlaws, active since the 2000s, operate mainly in Minneapolis’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and areas of Saint Paul. The gang is involved in drug trafficking and violent clashes with rival groups such as the Hot Boyz and 1627 Boys. There have also been reports of recruitment efforts targeting Somali youth, sometimes linked with broader gang networks.
Meanwhile, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) has opened the door to illegal immigration despite warning of dangerous gangs walking the streets of his state.
"Minnesota has always been a welcoming place for new immigrants, and we have no problem with that, but back in 2008 [through] 2012 to the beginning of Walz's administration, the refugee population continued to grow and grow and grow," retired Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek said. "And it went unchecked."
The Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis has been referred to as "Little Mogadishu" due to its significant Somali immigrant population, which is named after Mogadishu, Somalia’s capital. Between 2010 and 2018, violent crime in the area rose sharply, increasing by 56 percent. According to census data collected by Minnesota Compass from 2008 to 2022, over half of that population, more than 44,000 people, are Somali immigrants born outside the United States.
“Foreign aid to these countries needs to stop.”
Foreign aid enables corrupt governments. Some of those governments, including members of the United Nations, may view foreign aid as a form of reparations for the wrongs committed by the U.S.
Americans think of foreign aid as charity on a national level.
Meanwhile, we’re 37 trillion dollars in debt.
ALL foriegn Aid should end. It should be foriegn loans to be payed back.
As usual.
It’s a Minnesota problem. Keep voting Democrat.
Because they’ll scream Islamophobia ....
Because it is inconvenient and it does fit the narrative. If St Palulians see fit to elect that muzzle nut job as mayor ... its over.
I was at The Maul of America 3 weeks ago .
Hadn’t been in 25 years.
Wow .
Muslim women with head coverings all over .
A store that sells Muslim clothing .
Hotel I stayed at there was a Muslim women covered head to toe in black .
Very narrow slit to see through.
And if they aren't paid back in a set time, no more money until they are.
Agree
I have been of the impression that Minneapolis and Minnesota in general did not care about the Somali violence. This article seems to show otherwise.
Haven't seen nothing yet!
Here’s what is going to happen. Omar Fateh will be elected mayor. He will appoint Somalis to every municipal supervisory position he has the authority to do.
They will loot the city dry.
In five years, Minneapolis won’t even have working street lights as every inch of copper wiring will have been stolen.
As predictable as the sun rising.
S hole people live in s hole because they like it. DNA has memory. There is not a single benefit bringing in these violent tribal inbred savages in to ANY place on earth. None.
Wasn’t GW Bush that began resettling them to Maine and Minnesota?
I visited the Minneapolis area on vacation several years ago. I remember it being a relatively safe area inhabited by quirky hippies.
Because that would be Islamophobia, and Islamophobia is the biggest sin that there ever was, (according to the left), and noone dares upset Muslims by calling out their criminal activities.
Maybe ICE needs to go all L.A. on Minnesota..

You’ll like this if you’ve never seen it.
Davey Crockett was campaigning and spoke to a farmer who said he was not going to vote for him again.
“Though I live here in the backwoods and seldom go from home, I take the papers from Washington and read very carefully all the proceedings of Congress. My papers say that last winter you voted for a bill to appropriate $20,000 to some sufferers by a fire in Georgetown. Is that true?’ “’Certainly it is, and I thought that was the last vote which anybody in the world would have found fault with.’ “’Well, Colonel, where do you find in the Constitution any authority to give away the public money in charity?’”
I couldn’t care less if we control the horn of Africa. We can blow anything up that threatens oil flow to America.
And it sure isn’t as important as having old Mary Tyler Moore and Purple Rain Prince Minnesota was.
Feaking CIA... always those America hating pricks.
