The mayor of Minneapolis, has rolled out a campaign ad in broken Somali.
Democrat Jacob Frey, who is seeking a third term as the city’s mayor, uses the commercial to rail against President Trump’s travel ban on the failed African state in a bid to win support from the Somali community.

My name is Jacob Frey, Mayor of Minneapolis, and I want to speak directly to the Somali community. Whether you come from Mogadishu, Getawe, Pargesa, Bosaso, Medoa, or Kismayo, Minneapolis is your city. You are a vital part of the fabric that makes our city strong, diverse, and united.
No matter what policies may be introduced by President Donald Trump, Minneapolis stands with you and values who you are and what you bring to our city. I wish you all Eid Mubarak, and I hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones.
