After arriving in the United States from Somalia back in 2009, Fiqy never expected to be contacted by a major political campaign—yet Trump’s team reached out, asking him to help energize Somali-American voters before the election.
He took on the task with pride. But now, as a sweeping ICE operation targets Somali communities across the Twin Cities—and after hearing the president repeat harsh, blanket remarks about Somalis—Fiqy says his support has collapsed.
I suppose that’s the problem when you take everything at face value instead of looking at people’s past behaviour, I have no idea what ever gave anyone the idea that he cared about anyone but himself. Actions speak louder than words or something, but even his words are awful.
