In this episode of "Just When You Thought Things Couldn't Get Even More Insane in Minneapolis"...
The smiling chap above is Minnesota Democrat state senator Omar Fateh, the failed erstwhile mayoral candidate of the out-of-control Democrat-run city that continues to be rocked by anti-ICE rioters — from white Democrat women to paid agitators to Somali residents, to various other ne'er-do-wells.
Anyway, Fateh apparently decided it would be an awesome idea to publicly declare Minneapolis’ Somali-populated Cedar-Riverside neighborhood (AKA "Little Mogadishu") "a no-go zone for white supremacists.”
Just one problem. Actually, there are a whole bunch of problems, but we'll get to them in a bit.
So Fateh, along with a couple of his pals, fired up X on Saturday, posting an image of the three amigos (Somalis) standing in front of the Cedar Riverside towers, with the caption:
Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here. We protect our own.
When pressed by journalist David Marcus, who wrote "You don’t decide who is and isn’t welcome anywhere. We don’t allow 'no-go zones,'” Fateh doubled down, replying:
This is a No-Go zone for white supremacists.
Yeah, Omar, that's gonna be a *yuuge* problem.
Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here.

Far be it from me to nitpick, Omar, but here's the thing:
Declaring any public neighborhood a “no-go zone” for law-abiding citizens isn't going to fly — constitutionally, that is — much less with the Trump administration. Neither the government nor some random radicalized failed mayoral candidate gets to decide which lawful citizens may enter a public neighborhood, and which can't.
And, Omar?
That "We take care of our own" thing is not only laughable; it's both frightening and incompatible with the laws of this country. Americans have a right to travel and move freely within their own country. Period.
Interesting though, isn't it, that Fateh drops a ridiculous race card that couldn't be more ironic. The "supremacists," here, Omar, are you and your pals — melanin content notwithstanding.

Here's more:
"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 first and obvious question here is, what does Fateh mean by "white supremacist." But before we get to that, let’s be clear, if somebody wants to don full Nazi regalia and walk up and down the sidewalk in Little Mogadishu, Minnesota, while doing the John Cleese funny Hitler walk, they can.
Omar Fateh is not talking about the Ku Klux Klan or even the Proud Boys here. He is almost certainly talking about anyone who supports President Donald Trump and the operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Twin Cities.
The term “no-go zone” is commonly used to describe migrant or Muslim‑majority districts where police rarely enter and outsiders are effectively discouraged from going. Cities like Paris, Malmö, Cologne, and parts of Brussels have all faced accusations of operating as de facto no-go zones, linked to failed integration, gang violence, and the rise of parallel justice systems.
So, yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
Hang on for a minute. You don't suppose Fateh thinks his ridiculous declaration is going to further enflame the Somali community, along with the previously mentioned "protesters," and lead to further violence, in hopes of goading ICE into harsher confrontations, leading to unforeseeable fodder for the left-wing media sock puppets, do you?
Nah, I'm sure I'm overthinking, here. You know, given what a pleasant fellow he seems to be.
