    US President Donald Trump sparked a wave of reactions to his remarks describing members of the Somali-American communities as "garbage" and adding that they should go back to their country and fix it. Some of the criticism was aimed at Ilhan Omar, the congresswoman who became first Somali-American representative in US Congress. Trump's jabs also come in the wake of a likely ICE operation to be held in Minnesota, the US state that holds the biggest Somali community in the country and one of the largest Somali diasporas in the world. 🎤 Abdinasir Ali 🎥 🎬 Njoroge Muigai Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
