Trump race row: 'I was told to go home'
The US House of Representatives has voted to condemn President Donald Trump's suggestion that four US congresswomen should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came".
All four of the congresswomen are US citizens and people of colour. Representatives Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib were born in the US and Ilhan Omar came to the country from Somalia as a child refugee.
Mr Trump has been accused of racism and xenophobia for his comments, but has since tweeted: "I don't have a Racist bone in my body!"
We spoke to Degha, a Somali-American woman from Minnesota, to find out if she has faced racist abuse.
