This story comes to you from Sahan Journal through a partnership with MPR News.

. . . Only about 4,200 of the more than 80,000 Somalis living in Minnesota are not U.S. citizens, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Many of those 4,200 are green-card holders.

. . . In an interview with Sahan Journal, Amano Dube, the director of Pillsbury United Communities’ Brian Coyle Center, which oversees multiple programs, . . . Dube said that in the past 48 hours, since ICE agents were spotted in Cedar-Riverside, the entire neighborhood has been under lockdown due to fear of being detained.


This is long-form journalism, I only grabbed a couple paragraphs

The Bryan Coyle Center (420 15th Ave. S.) is about one hundred yards northwest of the iconic Cedar-Riverside towers (Riverside Plaza)
