immigration status: For an entire week he was anxious, he was scared, Shaie says over tea at Daalo Grill, a Minneapolis East African restaurant where she, Badal and a big group of friends would regularly hang out, according to The Chronicle Herald. You can read from his face. Badal, a Somali man who spent months trekking four continents before landing in the United States, had been preparing to appeal a rejected asylum application when Donald Trump became president. The Trump administration's hardline views on immigration have rattled many in the Midwestern city's large Somali community, regardless of their immigration status, says Shaie, a community activist. Somalia was also among seven Muslim-majority countries targeted in a travel ban imposed suddenly last month, which has since been halted in court. Trump singled out Somali newcomers at a campaign rally in Minneapolis two days before November's election, saying the city had suffered enough from their presence.
