Ben Stiller's tweet surfaced amid Trump's comments about not wanting Somalis in the United States

The aforementioned remarks by Ben Stiller popped up after Donald Trump made some comments about Somali immigrants. On Tuesday, the US president said that he does not want Somalis in the country. Donald Trump addressed reporters and said,

"They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country... Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don't want them in our country."

During the cabinet meeting, the president even described Somali immigrants as "garbage." He also claimed that these immigrants "do nothing but complain." He even urged them to "go back to where they came from and fix it."

According to the BBC, ICE has been directed by the Trump administration to target undocumented Somali immigrants in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. For the unversed, these cities are reportedly home to one of the largest Somali communities in the world and the largest in the United States.

This wasn't the first time that the US president spoke against Somali immigrants. Donald Trump has been known for his comments against Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American Minnesota Democrat. According to NPR, Omar emigrated to the US as a child back in the year 1995. Reports suggested that as per Trump, Omar "hates everybody," and he also called her "incompetent."

Omar too responded to Trump's comments in a social media post and said that "his obsession with me is creepy."

As far as the reaction to Ben Stiller's comments is concerned, the actor is yet to respond to them.
