明尼苏达州共和党参议院提名候选人就该州的犯罪状况敲响警钟，此前该州出现一波索马里帮派暴力浪潮，以及一名父母为索马里裔的美国公民策划的恐怖图谋被挫败。
“我在竞选活动中听到很多明尼苏达州民众对犯罪问题的担忧，无论犯罪形式如何，明尼苏达人都能感觉到，他们面临的威胁最近在明尼苏达州有所升级，就在上周乃至今天，”共和党候选人、现任州副州长佩吉·弗拉南的竞选对手米歇尔·塔福亚周三对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“我们看到一名18岁的索马里裔美国公民被捕，他计划在‘美国商城’的赫蒙族庆祝活动期间发动恐怖袭击。”
执法消息人士向福克斯新闻数字频道透露，这起据称的恐怖图谋的嫌疑人是18岁的谢赫敦·阿卜杜拉希·穆罕默德，他出生于美国，父母是入籍美国公民的索马里国民。联邦法庭文件显示，穆罕默德从一名卧底联邦调查局探员手中购买了一支AK-47风格步枪、弹匣和弹药后被捕，他当时以为该探员是ISIS的忠实成员。

FBI称，穆罕默德自2024年12月起就与一名机密线人进行数字通信，他以为该线人是索马里伊斯兰恐怖组织“青年党”（ISIS的分支）的成员。
“我等不及要杀死异教徒了。真主保佑，10月24日就是那天，”其中一条信息写道。“Kuffar”（异教徒）是用来指代非穆斯林的术语，“insha Allah”意为“真主保佑”。
赫蒙族是东南亚原住民，在美国拥有相对较多的人口。
“我们明尼苏达州也有大量赫蒙族社区，他基本上明确表示，他要消灭所有非穆斯林。他还提到，美国商城的所有者是犹太人，”塔福亚说。“这就是他的计划，感谢上帝，明尼阿波利斯的FBI和当地执法部门提前发现并挫败了这个计划。这家伙已经宣誓效忠ISIS。再说一遍，他有索马里血统，恐怖主义仍然猖獗，感谢上帝我们避免了这场大规模危机。”
塔福亚向不满的民主党人打出“常识”牌，承诺对抗明尼苏达州的“社会主义沉沦”
这起被挫败的图谋此前，明尼阿波利斯郊区的执法部门将多起帮派暴力事件归咎于索马里帮派。
明尼苏达州伊甸 Prairie市警方表示，上周当地高中返校节庆祝活动期间发生的枪击事件是敌对索马里帮派所为。同样，本周末明尼苏达州布鲁明顿市一家加油站的枪击事件也被归咎于索马里帮派。在后一起事件中，超过100发子弹被射出。
“我们当地郊区已经发生了多起与索马里帮派相关的袭击事件：在高中橄榄球返校节比赛现场、在天主教教堂停车场、在加油站，所有这些都在过去几周达到顶峰。这是不可否认的。我们当地的执法部门明确指出，这是索马里帮派暴力的产物，我们必须认清这一点，必须找到应对办法。”
塔福亚还提到，今年席卷明尼苏达州的索马里裔诈骗丑闻。

比尔·马赫抨击拒绝融入的移民，称美国价值观“不可谈判”
“我不知道如何通过立法推动同化，但我们绝对不能容忍这种程度的犯罪，”她说。“我们在诈骗案中也看到了这种情况。‘喂养我们的未来’项目的诈骗案中，按百分比计算，可能有98%的涉案人员是索马里裔，”她说。
“我认为，任何在这个国家犯罪的外籍人士都应该被驱逐出境，且永远不得重返，”她说。“如果你作为这个国家的客人来到这里，或是在这里生活，你就不能违反我们的法律；如果你是美国公民，同样不能违反法律，仅此而已。”
塔福亚并不反对移民，她指出自己是移民的孙女，还有一名收养的哥伦比亚裔女儿，她和其他美国人一样爱国。
但她表示，无论罪犯的背景如何，她都会继续打击犯罪的使命。她计划成为所有罪犯“一视同仁的眼中钉”，特别提到了腐败政客。

“我将代表明尼苏达州民众和所有美国人，所以我对犯罪的态度不会有任何例外。犯罪就是犯罪，犯罪者来自各行各业，他们都必须承担责任，而明尼苏达州一直以来都缺乏问责机制。”

The Republican Senate nominee in Minnesota is sounding the alarm about crime levels in the state amid a wave of Somali gang violence and a foiled terror plot by an American born to Somali parents.
“I hear a lot of concerns from Minnesotans on the campaign trail about crime, and no matter what form that crime takes, Minnesotans know that they feel under a level of threat that has increased lately here in Minnesota, and in the last week and just today,” Michele Tafoya, running as a Republican against Minnesota’s Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, told Fox News Digital on Wednesday. “We saw the arrest of an 18-year-old Somali American citizen to Somali parents arrested for a terrorist — planning a terrorist attack — at the Mall of America during a Hmong celebration.”
The suspect in that alleged terror plot is 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, born in the United States to Somali nationals who are naturalized American citizens, law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital. Federal court documents said that Mohamud was arrested after purchasing an AK-47-style rifle, magazines and ammunition from an undercover FBI agent whom he believed to be a loyal ISIS member.

The FBI alleges Mohamud had digital communications beginning in December 2024 with a confidential human source he believed was a member of al-Shabaab, a Somali Islamist terror group and offshoot of ISIS.
“I can’t wait until I kill kuffar man. October 24 is the day insha Allah,” one of the messages said. “Kuffar” is a term used to refer to non-Muslims, and “insha Allah” means “God willing.”
The Hmong people are indigenous to Southeast Asia and boast a relatively large population in the United States.
“We have a large Hmong community here in Minnesota as well, and he basically stated that he wanted to take out anyone who was not a Muslim. He also noted that the Mall of America is owned by people who are Jewish,” Tafoya said. “And so this was his plan, and thank goodness for the FBI in Minneapolis here and local law enforcement for catching onto this plan and derailing it well in advance. This is a guy who has pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Again, he is of Somalian descent and terror is alive and well and thank God we averted this massive crisis.”
TAFOYA MAKES ‘COMMON SENSE’ PITCH TO DISAFFECTED DEMOCRATS AS SHE VOWS TO FIGHT MINNESOTA’S ‘SOCIALIST LURCH’
The thwarted plot follows a rash of gang violence attributed to Somalis by law enforcement in the suburbs of Minneapolis.
Police in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, said a shooting during the local high school’s homecoming celebration last week was carried out by rival Somali gangs. Similarly, a shooting at a Bloomington, Minnesota, gas station over the weekend was attributed to Somali gangs. In the latter incident, more than 100 rounds of ammunition were fired.
“And we have had Somali-related — Somali gang-related — attacks here locally in our suburbs at a high school football game during homecoming, at a Catholic Church parking lot, at a gas station, and this is all just really started to peak here in the last couple of weeks. So it’s undeniable. Our law enforcement here are calling it out as the product of Somali gang violence, and we’ve got to identify it, and we have to find a way to deal with it.”
Tafoya also mentioned the Somali fraud scandals have enveloped Minnesota this year.

BILL MAHER RIPS IMMIGRANTS WHO REFUSE TO ADAPT, SAYS AMERICAN VALUES ARE ‘NOT NEGOTIABLE’
“I don’t know how you can legislate that assimilation, but we simply cannot tolerate the level of crime,” she said. “We’ve seen it with fraud here. It’s in the paperwork that the Feeding Our Future fraud was largely … in terms of percentage, probably 98%, Somali people involved in that fraud,” she said.
“What I do think is any guests of this country who commits crime should be sent home with no pathway back,” she said. “If you’re coming here to be a guest of this country or to live in this country you cannot break our laws, and if you’re an American, you cannot break our laws, period.”
Tafoya is not against immigration, noting that she’s the granddaughter of immigrants, and she has an adoptive Colombian daughter who is as patriotic as they come.
But she’s not going to stop in her mission to battle crime, no matter the background of the criminals, she said. She plans to be an “equal opportunity pain in the a–” to all of them, specifically mentioning corrupt politicians.

“I’m going to represent Minnesotans and Americans, and so there’s, there’s not going to be any limit on the way that I see crime. Crime is crime, and it’s going to be committed by a wide variety of people, and they all need to be held accountable and accountability has been in short supply here in Minnesota.
