The City stands as a welcoming City and opposes all attacks on any of its communities. B. President Trump has made vile, racist remarks against the Somali American community and made false allegations that have resulted in the weaponization of federal law enforcement and private attacks against Somali Americans.

President Trump's rhetoric is inaccurate, stigmatizing, and incites xenophobic attacks against the Somali community. President Trump has threatened to permanently end immigration from "Third World Countries," employing bigoted rhetoric to justify denying lawful immigration pathways. C. The federal administration's nationwide political rhetoric and policy proposals have targeted Somali American communities with discriminatory language, false allegations of fraud, travel bans, heightened surveillance, and threats of mass deportations, causing distress to San Diego residents. -PAGE 1 OF 3-

( R-2026-433) D. Masked federal agents continue to instill fear in San Diego communities, separating families and putting them in harm's way. E.
