The Briefing

  • President Trump used a midterm rally in Youngstown, Ohio on October 12 to target Somali and Haitian immigrants with derogatory remarks, calling Somalis "low IQ people" as the crowd repeatedly chanted "deport."
  • Hours before the rally, Homeland Security Investigations agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C. home under a court-authorized warrant; Trump denied involvement but called her "totally crooked."
  • Trump revived his debunked 2024 claim that Haitians in Springfield, Ohio ate neighbors' pets — this time insisting "I was right" — and expanded his attacks to Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, labeling him a "jihadist."
