In a fiery speech delivered in Detroit, Donald Trump criticized the protests against ICE in Minnesota, labeling them as “fake riots” and suggesting a coordinated effort behind them. Trump also made derogatory remarks about a woman seen in a video after an ICE-related incident. Furthermore, Trump launched a racially charged attack on Representative Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, accusing her of involvement in fraudulent activities without any evidence to support his claims.
During his speech, Trump threatened to revoke the citizenship of individuals from Somalia convicted of fraud, a move that would be unlawful under US regulations.
