#Minnesota is home to the largest diaspora of #Somalis in the world, a community whose members began migrating to the state in large numbers as the East African nation descended into civil war in the mid-1990s. Immigrant activists & local ofcls say that the vast majority of Minnesotans w/ Somali roots are #US #citizens or #legal permanent residents.
Nationally, about 73% of Somali #immigrants are naturalized US citizens, acc/to the Census Bureau.
