"MAGA has discovered a new folk villain: the Somali immigrant in Minnesota, allegedly ferrying your tax dollars out of the country in a suitcase labeled 'Fraud.' It’s a convenient character — exotic enough to frighten cable news viewers, pliable enough to fit any storyline, and distant enough that the people being stereotyped don’t get to rewrite the script."
