    Minnesota: Somali 'Community' Rallies around Mom as Social Services Removes Kids

    Minnesota: Somali ‘Community’ Rallies Around Mom as Social Services Removes Kids


    01/30/2020 ~ Ann Corcoran


    Diversity is beautiful alert!


    Read the story and tell me what jumps out at you!

    From the Sahan Journal:

    (emphasis is mine)

    A northwestern Minnesota county removed a Somali mother’s kids. Somalis want to know why.


    Somalis in Minnesota and the world are watching the case of an East Grand Forks mother whose children were removed by child protective services. Somali community members believe she’s being treated unfairly, but the facts are not black and white.






    Nimo Khalif, 33,
    mother of six surrounded by supporters outside of the Polk County Court House.


    CROOKSTON, Minn. — More than 100 Somali people packed the hallways of the Polk
    County Courthouse Monday, praying and then pressing officials to explain why the six children of a Somali mother had been taken away from her
    .


    Nimo Khalif, 33, a widow who came to America from a refugee camp in Kenya in late 2014, had been raising the children ages 10 months to 16 years alone in East Grand Forks.


    Suddenly, the kids were in the custody of Polk County child protective services.


    A distraught Nimo posted a video pleading in Somali for help.


    She said she wasn’t told why the children, ages 10 months to 16 years old, were removed and didn’t know what to do. Later, she would describe it as a “kidnapping.”


    The Somali community across Minnesota responded.


    The widely shared video helped deliver supporters to the courthouse Monday, including many who drove nearly five hours from the Twin Cities. [Who helped her create her video to disparage America?—ed]


    They left without answers. It turns out the case is more complicated than those responding to Nimo’s pleas might have realized.


    While concerns remain in the Somali community that Nimo’s being treated differently because she’s Somali, the facts are not yet black and white.







    Polk County is five hours from the heart of Little Mogadishu (Minneapolis). It began when one of Nimo’s daughters allegedly told a teacher in an email that she did not feel safe at home and was afraid to live with her mother.
    [….]


    The case has reverberated across Minnesota and the world. Somali National TV sent a reporter to cover the hearing.


    The video it posted on Facebook has nearly 150,000 views.


    Somali community members who know Nimo said they couldn’t understand how she suddenly lost custody of her children.


    Nimo strived to make sure her children were successful in their academic and Islamic education, said Abdirizak Duale, chair of Al-Huda Islamic Center of East Grand Forks.
    [….]


    Nimo, 33, works as a teacher’s assistant at Central Middle School, the same school where two of her daughters were taken into protective custody. She remains an employee of the district and has not been put on leave.


    She said her husband, the children’s father, died 10 months ago in Uganda, leaving her to raise their children in far northwestern Minnesota without immediate family nearby.


    There are many more details and photos, here.


    So now tell me, what jumped out at you?


    Was it the fact that she, a “widow,” was resettled in Minnesota, or so we were told in 2014, lives alone struggling to raise six children on a low wage job (surely with the help of MN welfare),
    but now has a 10-month-old.


    Where is the baby-daddy?


    Why isn’t he helping the family? Or, is it possible that the refugee mom traveled back to where she ‘escaped’ from, Africa, 19 months ago for a conjugal visit with her ‘husband’ who is now conveniently dead.


    The next time someone tells you that refugees don’t cost state and county taxpayers anything, remember this story.


    Nimo Khalif and her brood will cost plenty—kids’ education, courts, social services, food stamps, housing assistance, medical care! And what does Polk County and America get other than worldwide criticism?


    By the way, anyone seen CAIR Minnesota riding to her rescue?
