Input: (CNN) The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security has opened an investigation into an allegation by a Transportation Security Administration official that he was instructed to racially profile Somali-Americans. The DHS Office of Inspector General announced the investigation in a short statement on Thursday. It did not provide further details. Andrew Rhoades, the current TSA assistant federal security director at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, testified before the House Oversight Committee last week that he was told by his superior to profile Somali-Americans. Minneapolis has one of the nation's largest Somali populations. At the Minneapolis TSA administrative office, Rhoades said he often assists Somali travelers having difficulties traveling by directing them to apply to the Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry program. The program is for individuals who have questions or need help resolving difficulties they experienced during their travel screening at transportation hubs -- such as airports and train stations -- or crossing U.S. borders.Andrew Rhoades testified before a House panel that he was told to profile Somali-AmericansMinneapolis has one of the nation's largest Somali populations
