Well, Minnesota did take a large number of refugees from Somalia and adjacent areas. When the immigrant kids grew into tech-savvy young men, some have kept in touch (and been radicalized from a distance), and a few have gone back to fight in Somalia and Syria.
That said, they've otherwise been a pretty good immigrant population here. In my experience, they work really hard at sh!t jobs, and I've yet to hear of any that have turned to religious violence within their newly- adopted country. Like any new immigrant population coming in at the bottom of the economic ladder, there has been some violence, but almost all seems to be contained within their communities, for better (us) or worse (them).
(PS- and as someone who lives in the metro area , while there are Somali communities/neighborhoods, there are no "no-go" zones).
