A note to our Somali neighbors in SD49. We, the Democrats of Eden Prairie & South Minnetonka, stand with you. We condemn Trump for calling you “garbage” & we condemn any Republican who silently condones his attacks & ICE targeting. It’s a disgrace & is anti-American. Rod Fisher, Vice Chair SD49 DFL
