Is a sprawling Somali shopping center in Minneapolis a symbol of the American dream or a sign of challenges facing immigrant assimilation?
That question is at the center of a Fox News Digital report examining Karmel Mall of Somalia, where Rep. Ilhan Omar recently appeared after federal agents raided her Washington, D.C., home.
The mall's owner points to immigrant entrepreneurs opening businesses and building livelihoods, while a researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies cites poverty, language proficiency and public assistance statistics to raise concerns about broader integration.
The researcher also points to modern technology as a factor in how immigrants maintain ties to their home countries. See his explanation and the exclusive look inside: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/look-inside-somali-mall-omar-reappeared-dc-raid-raises-failed-assimilation-concerns
