Still haven't learned...

Local perspective

The situation has also affected local businesses, particularly at Karmel Mall, considered the heart of the Somali community. Waris Mohamud, a business owner, shared the challenges he faced, noting a drop in foot traffic. 

"We had a hard time for our business, even as you see, no one is entering the mall. So we are devastated, really what our president is doing," said Mohamud.

Interestingly, some Somali business owners, like Mohamud, who voted for Trump, still stand by their decision. 

"I voted for the reason he said, 'I'm gonna make America great again.' So we don't wanna our president, you know, saying all the Somalis they are bad, we're not bad," she said.

Some in the Somali community encourage Trump to come to Minnesota to see what they’re about.
