'The apprehension is palpable': Minnesota's Somali community braces for immigration crackdown

Somali-Americans in Minnesota have told of their heightened fear after US President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of the community this week.
Community leaders told the BBC the "apprehension is palpable" following Trump's remarks, in which he said he did not want Somalis in the US and the country would "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage".
"When you're being targeted by the president of the United States, it's not really a good feeling," Aj Awed, executive director of the Cedar-Riverside Community Council, which represents a town known as Little Mogadishu for its large Somali population.
Concern has also intensified because of reports that officials have begun an enforcement operation in Minnesota targeting undocumented immigrants. see more
