A Somali American woman who went viral for describing her identity as "bananas and rice" was one of 16 people arrested in Minneapolis and accused of participating in a riot as federal authorities escalated enforcement after clashes with protesters. The woman, Nasra Ahmed, 23, of Minnesota, rose to national prominence after remarks she made during a Jan. 21 news conference comparing Somali American identity to a cultural mix she described as "bananas and rice," a phrase that quickly spread across social media. "It’s kind of like bananas and rice," Ahmed said. "People don’t think you can eat bananas with rice,...

A man seated in the front row sprayed Omar’s chest with a syringe-like device lunging at her from his seat before being detained by law enforcement. Forensic investigators determined the substance was apple cider vinegar in the following hours, according to KARE, a local Minneapolis outlet. Omar’s office said in a statement the lawmaker “is okay” and continued her town hall “because she doesn’t let bullies win.” Authorities took the man into

🚨 BREAKING: Nasra Ahmed, the “bananas and rice” Somali, has been ARRESTED by DHS at the direction of Pam Bondi for obstructing ICE operations This is just too perfect 🤣 Ahmed LIED about being brutalized by ICE. Notice how the band-aid is gone and there’s no wound! Loser!

A police officer shot a 16-year-old boy when he refused to drop the broomstick he was holding in Salt Lake City last night. The officer was responding to an unrelated call in the Utah capital at 8.15pm when his team spotted two teenagers arguing with a man, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. Surrounding them, police allegedly told the boy to drop what he was holding - part of a broomstick. When he did not, 'shots were fired'. The boy was hit in the chest and the stomach.

Abdi Gelle Mohamed’s appearance on ICE’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ list for Minnesota is only the beginning of the real story. And hopefully the end of it. “Before we arrested Somali criminal alien Abdi Gelle Mohamed in Minnesota, he was convicted of sexually abusing a child,” ICE tweeted. What ICE didn’t mention was that it was in 1998 and we’ve been trying to deport him ever since. Mohamed illegally entered the United States in 1998, claimed that he was mentally ill and had been persecuted in Somalia (one Somali cure for mental illness is to lock the patient in a...

A Minnesota-based nonprofit focused on aiding Somalis and other East Africans is hiring someone to follow immigration agents and prevent them from making arrests. The Awood Center, named after the Somali word for “power,” released a job posting on Facebook Jan. 14 seeking an employee to assist in “rapid response,” a term activists use to describe following or recording suspected Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in-person. The group’s rapid response program will “reach hundreds of Somali residents within days,” “prevent unlawful or coercive detentions” and conduct outreach at relevant facilities such as mosques, the job posting says. The Awood...

Minnesota’s Post-Assimilation RealityOur country requires a common culture.What is unfolding in Minnesota cannot be understood without first confronting a difficult truth: some cultures arrive intact. They do not dissolve on contact with modern society, nor do they gently adapt—they replicate.Somali society is organized around the clan. Loyalty is not abstract, nor is it civic. It is biological and binding. The individual exists only insofar as he serves the group. Protection, marriage, honor, silence, and punishment are governed by this code. Obligations flow inward, sanctions flow downward. The clan precedes the individual and outlives him.This structure is pre-modern, but it is...

A new video from a Walmart in Minneapolis exposes the Minnesota Somali community’s incompatibility with America by showing that they can’t understand or speak English and are unable to provide services to contribute to the economy. Conservative content creator Kevin Posobiec and Quincy Franklin, aka the Black Conservative Preacher, made a stop at Walmart to find some hand warmers, and their encounters with the non-assimilated Somali workers were hilarious. When they asked one woman for hand warmers, she responded with inaudible nonsense, adding, “I don’t know hand, hand– chicken?” The next woman they asked was visibly confused, then began shouting...

LEWISTON, Maine (NewsNation) — Survivors and families of victims from Maine’s deadliest mass shooting say they were promised 100% of donations would go to them, but discovered a year later that nearly $2 million was instead distributed to 29 nonprofits, including organizations serving immigrant communities and one facing fraud allegations. In a network exclusive, NewsNation dug into the bait and switch that has left the community outraged. The Maine Community Foundation established the Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund after an October 2023 shooting at a bowling alley left 18 people dead and 13 wounded. Victims and family members say they were...

BREAKING - A Somalian in Minneapolis, Mubashir Hussen, claims he is suffering from “life altering” PTSD after being detained by ICE and has started a GoFundMe asking for $50,000 to help with the “trauma.” Their daycares have been turned off, so now they are scamming liberals.

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau publishes the Annual Survey of State and Local Government Finances. This is the country’s only source for state and local spending data, allowing a detailed state-by-state comparison. The survey also divides spending data into categories, making it possible to analyze which public services states prioritize. Overall, public welfare is the largest expenditure for most states. However, the level at which states prioritize assistance programs over other public services, such as roads and police, differs. Minnesota, for instance, has a massive welfare system, dedicating a larger share of its revenue to assistance programs than most...

President Donald Trump on Sunday blasted Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) for her criticisms of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) operations in Minnesota. “There is 19 Billion Dollars in Minnesota Somalia Fraud,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Fake ‘Congresswoman’ Ilhan Omar, a constant complainer who hates the USA, knows everything there is to know. She should be in jail, or even a worse punishment, sent back to Somalia, considered one of the absolutely worst countries in the World. She could help to MAKE SOMALIA GREAT AGAIN!” In a prior post, Trump said ICE “is removing some of...

Just five days before the election of 2008, which would catapult him into the presidency, candidate Barack Obama gave a speech in which he made what is now one of his infamous statements: “We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” In typical fashion, the press was too busy making goo-goo eyes at Obama to parse out what he meant by that statement, much less ask why a “fundamental transformation” of America would be necessary or desirable. Bestselling author and commentator Mark Levin asked what is perhaps the most salient question when he said,...

Investigative journalist Nick Shirley set the internet on fire the day after Christmas when he posted a stunning video detailing the rampant Somali fraud poisoning Minnesota right under the noses of Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Oman (MN-05), and Gopher State Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D). The fearless young man with a camera and a microphone went around to numerous supposed Minneapolis daycares that were receiving oodles of federal money, only to discover that there were no kids or signs of life at many of them. Now he’s back with a second video, which he released Wednesday afternoon: 🚨 After my...

Conversation Walter Curt @wcdispatch Okay @DataRepublican , and I did some general numbers on the SomaliFraud cash going through Minneapolis airport. According to reports, over 2 years, they moved roughly $700MM through the airport. That means (if they used $100 bills) they moved 7.7 metric tons of cash, and keep in mind, this is just what was flagged over the past 2 years. Couple notes on that number: That would essentially mean that the Somalis were taking a $1 million dollar duffle bag through the airport — EVERY SINGLE DAY — for two years. Further, we can assume that this...

Consider the claim that the United States imported not just tens of thousands of Somali pirates and fraudsters, but hundreds of deadly killers as refugees. This notion demands careful unpacking, for it touches on matters of immigration policy, national security, and moral accountability. One might wonder how such a large-scale influx could occur without proper vetting, much like the hasty resettlement of Afghan refugees after the 2021 withdrawal. The answer lies in a pattern of lax procedures that prioritized volume over scrutiny, leading to unforeseen consequences in communities like those in Minnesota. Neither the residents of Minneapolis nor the...

The Trump administration is ending temporary protected status for immigrants from Somalia, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in a post on X. "Somali nationals with TPS are now required to leave the United States by March 17, 2026," a post from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said. Temporary protected status is provided to immigrants from some countries facing safety conditions, such as environmental disasters and armed conflict. Other countries currently covered include Lebanon, El Salvador and Yemen.
