Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has changed the state flag to resemble the flag of Somalia. This decision, revealed three months ago in January, has sparked controversy and criticism from various quarters. The change is seen by some as an effort to make Somali migrants feel more welcome in the state. The new flag design has drawn significant attention and debate, with opponents arguing that it panders to specific communities while supporters believe it promotes inclusivity. Somali socialist Rep. Ilhan Omar has expressed her support for the change.
