Trump cites Minnesota fraud cases to warn against migration from ‘failed’ societies
Fox News
Trump targets Somalia at Davos, linking Minnesota's alleged fraud investigations to immigration policy as multiple federal schemes are currently under scrutiny.
Diana Stancy is a politics reporter with Fox News Digital covering the White House.
The majority of those charged are part of Minnesota’s Somali population, and Trump unveiled plans in November 2025 to end the temporary protected status for Somali migrants in Minnesota that offers protections against deportation.
"The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the West cannot mass import foreign cultures, which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own," Trump said Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "I mean, we're taking people from Somalia, and Somalia is a failed — it's not a nation — got no government, got no police … got no nothing."
