Members of Minnesota's Somali community held a Friday press conference in Minneapolis, calling for $200 million in reparations to address 'ICE trauma' from federal immigration operations like Operation Metro Surge. They requested cash grants for small immigrant businesses, eviction protections, emotional distress payments, a government apology, and limits on ICE in their areas.
