It’s all about scamming for Minneapolis Somalis who are now demanding that reparations be paid out for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids carried out during Operation Metro Surge.
On Friday, activists with the far-left group Neighbors United held a news conference during which they denounced the efforts to enforce federal immigration law and called for “relief from the damages of ICE terror.”
🚨 BREAKING: Somali community in MN demanding reparations over “ICE trauma”
Their demands:
– Free cash grants to immigrant businesses under $200k
– Stop all evictions + free rent
– Reparations for “ICE trauma”
– Government apology & “accountability”
– ICE banned from their… pic.twitter.com/q9nctcTyYO— Brandon Tatum (@TheOfficerTatum) February 21, 2026
The Somalis who spoke were barely coherent in English but clear in their ridiculous demands that they are owed for disruptions to business during the ICE operation, which has since been dramatically scaled back by the Trump administration after a firestorm over the deaths of two far-left militants who were shot while trying to impede federal immigration enforcement officers, one of whom tried to run over an ICE agent with an SUV.

Among the demands are free money to businesses making under $200,000, free rent and an official apology.
“In January alone, the City of Minneapolis estimates over $200 million in losses due to racist ICE terror, including $47 million in lost wages and $81 million in losses for small businesses. Governor Walz is proposing a meager $10M in loans to only those businesses who make over $200K a year. Because many of our businesses make less than $200k they are excluded them from eligibility,” Neighbors United states on its website.
“We demand that that the state dramatically expand its relief program with direct grants – not just loans – to immigrant, Black, and brown small businesses who lost income because of ICE terror, including businesses that make less than $200k annually,” the group said.
Video from the presser has already gone viral on X where users are cool on the idea of paying out the reparations.
Would it help to go back to Somalia?

Compromise: We set aside money, but instead of using it for reparations, we use it to denaturalize Somalis and ship them back to Somalia?

The audacity of these people to make such brazen demands after they’ve stolen and abused the Welfare programs of billions in taxpayer dollars.
If they want payment from who’s responsible for the damage and disruption to their communities, they need to look at their mayor and…

Bad Suitcase Wisdom: Somali “Reparations” Racket in MN
Oh hell no—now the Somali community in Minnesota is demanding “reparations” for “ICE trauma”? What fresh entitlement garbage is this? These folks flee a war-torn failed state, get welcomed into America with open arms,…

Look, there should be no more discussion with these people. They should have been deported already. Their culture just doesn’t fit with ours. We tried, it didn’t work. Move on. They all have to go. No need for drama. Just do it.

I can’t even get my head around this.
Somalis steal billions in fraud … and now want reparations for the hardship they dealt with in getting caught for stealing billions in fraud???— Abby (@NoCRTinSchools) February 21, 2026
You’d never know it from the lack of recent headlines but it was only last month when even the mainstream media had to report on rampant swindling of taxpayers by members of the Somali diaspora, stealing that was so staggering that one federal prosecutor described it as “industrial scale fraud” and it briefly seemed that the Democratic Party’s entire money laundering and racketeering operation stood to be exposed.
Then Renee Good was shot, followed by Alex Pretti and mobs of left-wing miscreants took to the streets, urged to do so by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, both of whom were potentially implicated and leapt at the opportunity to distract from scrutiny of the Somali looting spree.
It worked like a charm and now the non-assimilating invaders are free to go about their scamming with the reparations shakedown.
“We demand that Governor Walz stop all evictions now for renters and small businesses! Governor Walz has the power to sign this into law immediately by declaring a peacetime state of emergency,” Neighbors United declared. “Many families have not been able to work because ICE is terrorizing our families. Families should be protected and allowed to stay in their home.”
