.@AsteadWesley visits St. Cloud and gets residents to talk. I mean, any reporter can go to St. Cloud and do a story like this, but what separates this story from the rest are how residents are open to expressing their... fears.

And this. nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/…

"These aren’t people coming from Norway, let’s put it that way. These people are very visible.” nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/…

"This is killing us." nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/…

“At that point, we’re done for.” nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/…

The ending of this story....WOW. nytimes.com/2019/06/20/us/…

@AsteadWesley, thank you for writing this.

I’d have to commend New York Times reporters for visiting Minnesota to do enterprise stories.

In Minnesota, stories about race/immigration are highly undercovered. We often don't look deeper at the underlying issues.

Read @jeligon's recent story. nytimes.com/2019/06/07/us/…

BREAKING: Kim Crockett, vice president of Center of the American Experiment, has been suspended over her racist comments about Somalis.

She told @AsteadWesley: “These aren’t people coming from Norway, let’s put it that way. These people are very visible.” startribune.com/think-tank-fig…

What an editorial by the St. Cloud Times (@sctimes): “America is struggling with its original sin — racism — more openly now than it has in decades. St. Cloud just became a poster child for the wrong side. Again.” sctimes.com/story/opinion/…
