The Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA) condemned recent comments by President Donald Trump about Somali immigrants and Somali Americans, calling them “vile” and an insult to immigrant communities.

CAIR-WA issued the statement after Trump referred to Somali immigrants as “garbage” during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, saying he did not want them in the United States.

“When they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but b****, we don’t want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it,” Trump said.
