Minnesota mosques strengthen security after Trump comments

Mosques in Minnesota are strengthening their security after comments by Donald Trump targeting Somali immigrants in the state. The local branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations brought imams together to prepare protective measures and raise awareness among worshippers, according to MPR News, as cited by Caasimada Online.

Mosques in Minnesota, in the United States, have begun strengthening their security amid fears of attacks targeting the Somali community, following statements by US President Donald Trump against Somalis living in the state, Caasimada Online reports.

The concern grew after a message posted by Donald Trump on his Truth Social network on Thursday. He claimed that Somali immigrants were “taking control” of Minnesota and called on residents of the state to fight this situation, according to Caasimada Online.
