Tom Homan said ICE focuses on public safety and national security, denying increased deportations or racial targeting amid concerns from Minnesota's Somali community of 80,000 residents.
- On Sunday, Tom Homan, White House border czar, defended President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Minnesota, saying the state is home to a large illegal Somali community.

- Most Somalis born outside the U.S. came as refugees after Somalia's civil war triggered an exodus of more than 1 million starting in 1991, and the U.S. began issuing visas to Somali refugees in 1992.
