For decades, the Somali community has added greatly to our city. The economic fabric, their hard work, their leadership. It has made Minneapolis a better place.

Our values and our commitment to the Somali community, to every community of immigrants and people in our city, is rock solid and will be unwavering. (01:50–01:56)
