前州警官约翰·纳格尔将矛头指向他的对手、明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔以及民主党，指责他们导致索马里裔美国人帮派相关暴力在双城地区升级。
Former state trooper John Nagel pointed the finger at his opponent, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and the Democratic Party for allowing Somali-American gang-linked violence to escalate in the Twin Cities.
本月以来，伊甸草原及周边双城郊区居民因一系列帮派相关事件而人心惶惶，其中包括两名青少年在伊甸草原高中橄榄球赛外被枪击，以及布卢明顿社区发现超过100枚弹壳。"在这一切之中，伊尔汉·奥马尔在哪里？" 纳格尔在接受福克斯新闻数字版采访时说道。他本人是明尼苏达州出生的居民，曾担任30年州警官。"
Residents of Eden Prairie and surrounding Twin Cities suburbs have been left fearing for their safety after a string of gang-related incidents this month, including the shooting of two teens shot outside an Eden Prairie high school football game and more than 100 shell casings recovered in a Bloomington neighborhood. "Where is Ilhan Omar in all of this?" Nagel, a Minnesota native who spent 30 years as a state trooper, asked in an interview with Fox News Digital.
我认为作为代表该地区的国会议员，她应该参加这些会议，或者发表声明，或者坐下来问：‘嘿，我们该如何帮忙？我们该如何制止？’但我根本看不到她的身影。" 纳格尔还指责明尼苏达州其他民主党人，包括亨内平县检察官玛丽·莫里亚蒂，他们“埋头沙里”，阻碍执法部门在暴力失控前予以制止。"他们被政治人物束缚，这些人主张宽于待犯，试图让非警察的人来处理问题，但这根本不起作用，" 纳格尔说。
"I would think that as a congressman that represents this particular area that she'd be at these meetings or she'd have a statement or she’d be sitting down and saying, ‘Hey, how can we help this? How could we stop this?’And I don't see her." Nagel accused other Minnesota Democrats, including Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, of having their "heads in the sand" and preventing law enforcement from stopping the violence before it got out of control. "They're being restrained by politicians, people that are trying soft on crime, people that're trying to send somebody other than a police officer to take care of issues, and it's not working," Nagel said.
审视全州领导人的反应，包括州长蒂姆·沃尔兹和司法部长基思·埃利森，纳格尔表示，大多数民主党人“不愿执法”。"但人民想要，" 他补充道。"他们已经厌倦了。" 根据纳格尔的说法，民主党多年来对犯罪持过度宽容态度，这使得帮派成员变得更加肆无忌惮，认为违法不会带来严重后果。"正是因为民主党多年来对明尼苏达州的执政方式，这些帮派成员以及一般的罪犯，都被这种氛围所鼓舞，" 他继续说道。"他们觉得可以无视法律而不必担心后果。"
Looking at the responses of statewide leaders, including Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, Nagel said the majority of Democrats "don’t want enforcement." "The people do," he said. "They're tired of it." Democrats have been too lenient on crime for years, according to Nagel, which he said has "emboldened" gang members to break the law without serious consequences. "Because of how the Democrats have run Minnesota over the years, these gang members and then just crooks in general, they’re emboldened by this," he said.
伊尔汉·奥马尔有望连任第五届明尼苏达州议员，选民继续保持左翼倾向。拉姆齐县警长鲍勃·弗莱彻本周在新闻发布会上表示，问题的一个"主要部分"在于未能让帮派成员承担责任，并称莫里亚蒂办公室在起诉未成年人时需要更具"攻击性"。
ILHAN OMAR ON TRACK FOR FIFTH TERM AS MINNESOTA VOTERS MAINTAIN FAR-LEFT STREAK Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher spoke at a press conference this week, highlighting that a "big chunk of the problem" is failing to hold gang members accountable, saying Moriarty's office needs to be more "aggressive" with prosecuting juveniles.
在向福克斯新闻数字版的声明中，莫里亚蒂办公室发言人丹尼尔·博格特波平表示，目前尚未收到与布卢明顿事件相关的案件用于起诉考虑，但如果有案件提交，将会"彻底审查"。
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Daniel Borgertpoepping, a spokesperson for Moriarty’s office, said that no cases related to the Bloomington incident have been submitted for charging consideration, but "they’ll be thoroughly reviewed" if they are.
18岁的亚当·阿卜迪哈基姆·亚当因涉及伊登普雷里返校足球赛枪击案，于周五被控两项持凶器二级攻击罪和二级暴动罪。
Adam Abdihakeem Adam, 18, was charged on Friday in connection with the Eden Prairie homecoming football game shooting with two counts of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon and second-degree riot.
莫里亚蒂在周五的新闻稿中表示："亚当先生将承担责任。我们社区中的暴力完全不可接受，这需要专业且协调的应对措施，而这一点在此案中已经实现。"
"Mr. Adam will be held accountable," Moriarty said in a press release Friday. "Violence in our communities is completely unacceptable and it requires a professional, coordinated response, which happened here."
弗莱彻还驳斥了将"东非"用于概括帮派成员种族的说法，指出这些帮派成员中有"98%是索马里人"，而更广泛的标签并不"公平"。他说："我认为我们只需直言不讳地说出事实，而不应回避这一术语。"
Fletcher also pushed back on "East African" being used to generalize the gang members’ ethnicity, adding that "98% of these gang members are Somali" and that the broader label isn’t "fair." "I think we just have to say what it is and not run away from the term," he said.
艾米·克洛布uchar在所谓的美国购物中心阴谋事件后呼吁加大反恐投资。纳格尔表示，人们害怕因称帮派为索马里人而被指责为"种族主义者"，他认为执法部门只是在追究实施犯罪的人，而非将责任归咎于整个社区。
AMY KLOBUCHAR CALLS FOR MAJOR ANTI-TERRORISM INVESTMENTS AFTER ALLEGED MALL OF AMERICA PLOT Nagel said people are afraid of being called "racist" for referring to the gangs as Somali, arguing that law enforcement is simply going after those committing the crimes rather than blaming an entire community.
我是说，我们有拉美裔帮派、亚裔帮派和黑人帮派，还有索马里帮派。这不是有偏见。他说这是“索马里问题”，因为“就是他们在出现”。
"I mean, we have Latino gangs and Asian gangs and Black gangs, and we have Somali gangs. This is not being prejudicial." He said it’s a "Somali problem" because that’s "who's showing up."
“这太荒谬了，”他说。“我是一名警察。我不在乎你是谁。我不在乎你是什么肤色。”
"It's ridiculous," he said. "I'm a police officer. I don't care who you are. I don't care what color you are."
纳格尔表示，“帮派特遣队”可能是解决方案的一部分，并主张：“我们不需要通过更多法律。我们不需要更多人来为他们的团体要钱。我们需要的是执行我们已有的法律，起诉犯罪者。”随着帮派暴力蔓延到明尼苏达州的社区，纳格尔表示这种情况不能继续像以前那样下去。
Nagel said a "gang task force" could be part of the solution and argued, "We don't need to pass any more laws. We don't need any more people asking for money to help their group. We need to take the laws that we have and prosecute people." As gang violence spills into Minnesota communities, Nagel said it can’t continue to go on like it has.
“我们需要执法，我们需要逮捕，我们需要监禁，”他说。“否则，这只会继续恶化。”纳格尔将在即将到来的中期选举中，与奥马尔和独立候选人德维勒·杰克逊竞争明尼苏达州第五国会选区的美国众议院席位。
"We need enforcement, we need arrests, and we need incarceration," he said. "Otherwise, this is going to continue to spiral." Nagel will face off against Omar and Independent candidate DeVelle Jackson in the upcoming midterm elections for the U.S. House seat representing Minnesota's 5th Congressional District.
