Trump Administration Ends Temporary Protected Status for Thousands of Somalis in US
The Trump administration has ended temporary protected status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting thousands of Somalis living in the US, while hundreds more will face deportation from the country.
The Trump administration has ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Somalis living in the US, marking a significant shift in immigration policy for these individuals who have been living and working in the country without documentation since 2001. The move affects approximately 18,300 Somalis currently residing in the US, as well as several hundred more who had planned to arrive in the coming months. TPS holders are now required to apply for a different type of immigration relief or face deportation. This change will likely cause significant uncertainty and hardship for those affected by the policy shift.
