A viral clip from a Minneapolis Somali community press conference shows an entitled woman struggling with English while demanding reparations for “ICE trauma” from Operation Metro Surge. On social media, users blasted this shameless demand with dozens of hilarious comments.
However, these demands align with comments from local Democrats, such as Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, who called for hundreds of millions from the federal government; he claimed that his city is owed $203M economic losses from ICE enforcement disrupting immigrant-reliant businesses.
In the broken and almost unintelligible screed, the woman muttered, “We have suffering sons starting for ICE. We want to whoever bring over here. We want to Deb only. That’s what I’m saying. And I’m saying…asking our government and our state we are taxpayer. We need payback whatever they committed ICW. Thank you very much.”
Reacting to the shameless clip, one viral post read, “MN Somali tries to demand reparations, but can’t speak English.” Annoyed, another asked, “Quick question…why can’t @DHSgov just show up at the press conference and detain them all? Seems like a target rich environment.” “There would be a time when this behavior would automatically means deportation,” a comment pointed out. Sardonicallly, a woman quipped, “Tell them the best we can do is provide them a ride home to Somalia where they’re treated better.”
Making a similar point, another comment joked, “We should definitely pay her! I’m thinking a one-way, first class ticket to Somalia. And a couple hundred in pocket money?” Likewise, a popular influencer stated, “I’m willing to budge on this issue. I’m willing to pay out reparations in the form of one-way flights back to the wasteland known as Somali.”
“Immigrants like this make me want to close the borders permanently. No entry for longer than 2 weeks, unless medically based (meaning someone came here for medical procedures they are paying for),” an angry conservative stated, “We need a moratorium on immigration.” Numerous others chimed in to sound off on how infuriating it is that Somali migrants are not only in America and pilfering a slew of important welfare and public aid programs, but also demanding reparations from Americans despite all of that, and demanding that they be deported as a result.

As we reported at the American Tribune, Minneapolis Democrats, led by Mayor Jacob Frey, argue that ICE’s Operation Metro Surge caused over $203 million in economic damage. Additionally, they demand federal and state aid to cover the costs.
“Minneapolis taxpayers should not be left to foot the bill for this situation that has been created by the federal government,” said Jacob Frey, “The damage caused by Operation Metro Surge doesn’t disappear just because the operation is ending.”
Bringing his comments to a close, he alleged, “The damage caused by Operation Metro Surge doesn’t disappear just because the operation is ending. I’m not too naive to think that we’re going to go to the state and federal legislatures and get the entire amount.”
