<p>法尔多萨·阿里在明尼阿波利斯的同一栋楼里经营着一家咖啡馆，该楼内还有一家索马里人经营的日托中心，因涉嫌欺诈而受到指控，但证据不足。 - CNN</p>
<p>在法尔多萨·阿里的餐厅里，她表示，原本稳定的顾客流量，前来品尝索马里萨姆布萨或甜点的顾客，现在被威胁电话所取代。</p>
<p>“这真的很悲哀，” 阿里说，她去年夏天开设了阿尔比厨房。“我打电话给警察，因为有一个人打电话来说他要来这里把一切都打坏。”</p>
<p>阿里表示，威胁和生意下滑始于保守派内容创作者尼克·希尔里发布了一段视频，指控明尼阿波利斯索马里社区的日托中心存在欺诈行为，其中包括她咖啡馆所在的同一栋楼的日托中心。</p>
<p>自视频发布以来，阿里和其他商家及该州根深蒂固的索马里社区的家庭表示，他们在社交媒体上遭到威胁、骚扰和欺凌。一家日托设施被破坏，家长们害怕送孩子上学。曾经热闹的索马里餐馆和咖啡馆上周几乎空无一人，人们害怕去上班。</p>
<p>希尔里的视频引发的反响加剧了明尼苏达州索马里裔居民的焦虑，尤其是在唐纳德·特朗普总统在去年 12 月称该社区为 “垃圾” 并派遣移民执法人员到该州后，使双子城成为他驱逐行动的新目标，此前这一行动曾在洛杉矶、芝加哥、夏洛特和新奥尔良等城市出现。</p>
<p>“这种恐惧的气候正在破坏生计，分离家庭，并削弱整个社区的安全感和归属感，” 美国伊斯兰关系委员会明尼苏达分会执行董事杰拉尼·侯赛因说，最近几周全国最大的索马里侨民社区的感受。</p>
<h3>日托中心因丑闻受到干扰</h3>
<p>一些日托提供者表示，希尔里的视频打乱了他们照顾孩子的日常生活——其中一些孩子来自依赖儿童保育的工薪家庭。他们现在在试图安抚害怕的家长和孩子时，接到大量电话、威胁和媒体关注。</p>
<p>明尼阿波利斯附近的日托中心老板兼顾问卡西姆·布苏里的设施接到的电话激增，人们询问有关入学、营业时间和可用性的问题，他说。</p>
<p>他说，来电者似乎并不是出于真正关心的家长，这分散了他团队需要专注的工作。CNN 没有透露布苏里的日托中心的名称，因为他担心他的中心可能会成为目标。</p>
<p>“这只是一些随机的电话，额外的事情，我们不需要关注，” 布苏里说。“我们需要专注于我们照顾的孩子。”</p>
<p>明尼苏达州儿童、青年和家庭部周五表示，其调查人员访问了涉及欺诈指控的儿童保育中心，发现它们的运营情况正常，只有一个 “尚未对家庭开放”。</p>
<h3>索马里倡导者为他们的社区辩护</h3>
<p>欺诈指控给一个以小企业经营、紧密家庭和丰富文化自豪的社区带来了不受欢迎的关注，该社区在明尼苏达州已经发展了约 30 年。</p>
<p>明尼苏达州在 1990 年代初成为索马里的中心，当时索马里政府崩溃，东非国家爆发暴力。数百万人被迫流离失所或逃往世界各地的几十个国家。</p>
<p>许多移民发现明尼苏达州吸引人，因为在农村地区的肉类加工厂有工作机会，工人需求远远超过供应，阿赫迈德·伊斯梅尔·优素福，一位明尼苏达州的作家和剧作家，曾告诉 CNN。</p>

<p>索马里居民在明尼阿波利斯的河滨广场大楼的大厅里眺望，这是一座在索马里裔美国人中颇受欢迎的公寓大楼，关于计划于 2025 年 12 月 2 日针对索马里移民的联邦行动的报道传出。 - 提姆·埃文斯/路透社</p>
<p>现在，明尼阿波利斯 - 圣保罗地区大约有 84,000 名索马里裔居民，使其成为美国最大的索马里裔人口，根据美国人口普查局的数据，明尼苏达州近 58% 的索马里人出生于该国。</p>
<p>索马里社区的活动人士坚决维护索马里人的形象——他们强调，索马里人并没有比其他任何群体更涉及犯罪行为或欺诈。他们说，坏分子只是少数。</p>
<p>虽然希尔里的指控尚未立即得到证实，但当局多年来一直在调查明尼苏达州的欺诈计划。明尼苏达州民主党州长蒂姆·沃尔兹在过去一年中一直在应对涉及一些索马里居民的欺诈计划的反响。在一个案例中，联邦指控对数十人提出，绝大多数是索马里人，涉及 “喂养我们的未来” 这一非营利组织，检察官称该组织虚假声称在新冠疫情期间为有需要的儿童提供餐食。美联社报道，三十七名被告已认罪，但尚不清楚其中有多少人是索马里人。</p>
<p>社区组织者哈立德·奥马尔是非营利组织 ISAIAH 的成员，该组织倡导明尼苏达州的种族和经济正义，他认为希尔里的视频只是在煽动仇恨，并 “替索马里社区背锅”，因为未被提名的日托中心现在也受到针对。他还指出，他相信州官员会全面调查欺诈指控。</p>
<p>“如果有人犯了欺诈，他们应该承担责任，没错，” 奥马尔说。“但将整个社区框定为罪犯，这是错误的，也是非美国的，因为我们不相信集体惩罚。”</p>
<p>美国伊斯兰关系委员会的国家副主任爱德华·艾哈迈德·米切尔表示，因少数人的犯罪行为而谴责和攻击整个社区是 “纯粹的种族主义”。</p>
<p>“这种种族主义在其他任何社区中都不会被容忍，” 米切尔说。</p>
<p>侯赛因表示，明尼阿波利斯双城的大多数索马里居民是 “勤劳的家庭、小企业主、医疗工作者、学生和每天为明尼苏达州的经济和公民生活做出贡献的纳税人。”</p>
<p>“当整个社区被污名化时，影响是立竿见影的，” 侯赛因说。“家庭生活在恐惧中，企业遭受损失，公众机构的信任也在下降。”</p>
<p>CNN 的惠特尼·怀尔德和罗布·库兹尼亚对此报道做出了贡献。</p>

<p>明尼阿波利斯的索马里商户报告称，在一段指控当地儿童保育设施欺诈的视频发布后，他们面临骚扰和威胁。咖啡馆老板法尔多萨·阿里（Fardowsa Ali）描述了在视频发布后收到威胁电话的经历。索马里社区因之前的政治言论而感到焦虑，正经历业务下滑和家庭恐惧加剧的情况。活动人士强调，大多数索马里人都是守法的，这些指控不公正地损害了他们的声誉。明尼苏达州儿童、青年和家庭部发现，尽管有这些指控，大多数日托中心仍在正常运营</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>“这真的很悲哀，” 阿里说，她去年夏天开设了阿尔比厨房。“我打电话给警察，因为有一个人打电话来说他要来这里把一切都打坏。”</p>

</div><p>Since the video was posted, Ali and other business owners and families in the state’s deeply rooted Somali community have said they were threatened, harassed and bullied on social media. A day care facility was vandalized and parents are afraid to send their children to school. Somali restaurants and coffee shops that once bustled with patrons were nearly empty last week and people are scared to show up to their jobs.</p>

</div><p>The backlash from Shirley’s video has exacerbated the anxiety residents of Somali descent in Minnesota were already feeling after President Donald Trump called the community “garbage” and sent immigration enforcement agents to the state in December, making the Twin Cities the latest target of his deportation push, which was previously seen in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and New Orleans.</p>

</div><p>“This climate of fear is disrupting livelihoods, separating families, and undermining the sense of safety and belonging for an entire community,” Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Minnesota chapter, said of how the nation’s largest Somali diaspora has felt in recent weeks.</p>
