At a meeting in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis, which is home to thousands of Somali's, state and local lawmakers discussed the issue at hand.
Executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations Minnesota Jaylani Hussein led the meeting Wednesday evening.
" The Somali-American community being targeted in this manner is dangerous."
One of the residents at the meeting, Binto Ali says it's all very scary and confusing.
"I've been here since 1994," says Ali, " I was only three years old when I came, and this is my home, and this has got to stop."
DFL State Senator Scott Dibble was also in attendance, talking about the dangers of Trump's hateful words towards Somali people.
"We are still grieving the assassination of Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark" says Dibble, " And the attempted assassination of our colleague John Hoffman and his wife Yevette and their daughter Hope, acts carried out by an individual radicalized, by exactly this kind of language."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey signed an Executive Order prohibiting federal, state, and local agencies from using any City-owned parking lots, ramps, garages, or vacant lots to stage civil immigration enforcement operations.
Somali leaders say that they have started to see some people taken into custody and have also seen a rise in the number of threats made to those in the community.
