In a chilling series of social media posts on Saturday evening, Omar Fateh, Minnesota state senator and former Minneapolis mayoral candidate, vowed to make his city’s Cedar Riverside neighborhood a “no-go zone for white supremacists.”
“No-go zone” is a term popularized in Europe that refers to Muslim-majority neighborhoods where it is not safe for white people to go.
The X-posts began with Fateh and two other men standing in front of the iconic Cedar Riverside towers with the message: “Cedar Strong. White supremacists are not welcome here. We protect our own.”
A little shocked by the sentiment, I quoted the senator to remind him that Americans can enter any neighborhood they want, writing, “You don’t get to decide who is and isn’t welcome. We do not allow ‘no-go zones.’

At this, Fateh doubled down and replied, “This is a no-go zone for white supremacists,” adding an angry emoji for emphasis.
The first and obvious question here is what Fateh means by “white supremacist.” But before we get into that, let’s be clear: If someone wants to put on full Nazi regalia and walk down the sidewalk in Little Mogadishu, Minnesota, doing John Cleese’s funny Hitler walk, he or she can.

This is a free country and one of our most cherished freedoms is speech. It has long been proven in America, not only legally, but also socially, that no matter how horrible the Nazis are, they still have rights.

But let’s not be naive. Omar Fateh is not talking about the Ku Klux Klan or even the Proud Boys. He’s almost certainly talking about anyone who supports President Donald Trump and Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the Twin Cities.
Fateh and his Democratic colleagues in Minnesota, such as Governor Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey and Representative Ilhan Omar, have time and again depicted the fully legal ICE actions in the Land of 10,000 Lakes as racism.
Many of these same so-called leaders have leveled accusations of racism against journalists like Nick Shirley, who exposed a largely Somali fraud scandal that federal prosecutors say took more than $9 billion from needy children and seniors. You can perhaps understand why Fateh would want a No-Nick-Shirley-Zone to protect the corrupt among his voters.
JOURNALIST SAYS IT’S ‘FEARING’ TO BE CONSERVATIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS AFTER ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS IN CAR
On Saturday afternoon, pro-Trump counter-protesters in Minneapolis were physically attacked as they tried to make their voices heard. One man was threatened with violence if he didn’t take off his American flag sweatshirt in frigid temperatures.
In America.
This is mind-boggling madness, bordering on total chaos, and what is Fateh’s response? To add fuel to the fire by promising similar treatment to any pro-ICE individual who dares enter its Somali-administered no-go zone.

Does anyone doubt for half a second that a MAGA hat, or at this point even an American flag itself, would be considered “white supremacy” by Fateh and his ilk?

What percentage of Americans think Fateh and his friends are white supremacists? Millions? And if so, by what authority did they simply decide that those people should not be allowed in this area?
Who will enforce this no-go zone? Will it have its own militia? A small Somali standing army in the Midwest? This is madness.

Everyone, but especially Democrats, need to be crystal clear when they tell Fateh that European-style no-go zones will not be tolerated in America. We long ago abolished the shameful “sunset cities” where black people could not go after dark. We will not allow Fateh to bring back this horrible practice.

This is just further evidence that the leadership of Minnesota’s Somali community has no interest in assimilation. They want a semi-autonomous area that they control. Not only is that not how America works, it is damaging the future of those they represent.

Fateh and Omar want their voters to believe that America’s broader rules, including our democratically enacted immigration laws, simply do not apply to them. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Americans will not be told that there are neighborhoods in their own country that they are not allowed to enter. That might fly to Cologne or Copenhagen, but not to the United States. Omar Fateh needs to figure this out before he gets any more people hurt or killed.
