"Quit stealing, you people are fu*king criminals," MAGA caller pretending to be a police officer says while harassing Somali bakery owner. Yesterday, we covered another ICE raid outside his bakery.

Our reporter Tina-Desiree Berg covered an ICE raid in a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 5. Nur Ahmed, who owns the bakery ICE raided outside of, spoke with Tina (watch video above) about harassing phone calls he has received from MAGA supporters…
Who pretended to be a police officers while attacking them with vile comments.
Ahmed played a recording of a call he received from a MAGA supporter attacking him and calling the Somali community “fucking criminals.”
“You’re a pirate, you’re a pirate! Quit pirating here, do you understand? And quit stealing; you people are fucking criminals!”
When someone replied, “I guess you’re a MAGA man, huh?” the caller responded by pretending to be a cop. “I’m a police officer fool!”
As part of the ICE raid outside the Durdur Bakery and Grocery in a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis, ICE agents pushed protesters and threatened them with pepper spray cans in their face. Violence morphed into creepiness when an ICE agent, responding to attacks on his appearance, pointed at himself and said “I’m pretty.”

Let’s keep waking up the masses
The United States of America is a rogue nation, run by a violent criminal who operates outside the rule of law. ... The United States should be condemned by the international community and all peoples of this earth. Decent countries should sanction us economically, and our leaders should be charged as war criminals and have their assets frozen. These sanctions should not just be directed at the top level of our government but also against our feckless Congress and the complicit politicians in both parties who support our illegal actions. The US should be treated like the global pariah it is, and that includes bringing all of the soft-power and shame the world can bring to bear on us: Our embassies should be closed and our diplomats expelled, our games and tournaments boycotted, including the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics. And everybody else should be issuing travel advisories to the US in an attempt to crash our tourism industry. Everything the international community did to Russia after it invaded Ukraine should be done to us now that we’ve invaded Venezuela and are trying to install a sham government there.
