Hateful emails & calls targeted a #Minnesota #school serving #Somali families after #Trump shared a video of its kindergartners on social media this week, …an escalation of a sustained campaign of political & rhetorical attacks during Trump’s 2nd term…. Trump reposted a video from a #kindergarten graduation ceremony…. In the clip, #children in blue graduation gowns, including girls wearing hijabs beneath their mortarboards, sing in Somali as they celebrate the end of the school year. #Unfit

#Trump amplified another [hateful] user’s caption— “Every girl is in a hijab…in kindergarten.” The faces of the young #children were clearly visible in the video shared with Trump’s 12.9 million followers. Members of the #Somali community said that exposure could open the door to attacks on some of the community’s most vulnerable members. The replies to Trump’s post quickly filled with anti - #Muslim invectives, including one user who called the children “future terrorists.” #Unfit #POS #law

Federal agents use chemical irritant on crowd in #Somali neighbourhoods of #Minneapolis amid #Trump crackdown “Armed #ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant & demanded papers. Federal agents also entered East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Everyone present was a US citizen.”
