The Trump administration will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants. This change makes it easier to deport thousands of people. US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem explained, "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law's requirement." TPS protects immigrants from deportation if their home country is unsafe. From March 17, around 2,500 Somalis will lose work permits and legal status. They will then become eligible for deportation. President Donald Trump has expressed he does not want Somali immigrants in the US. He launched a major effort in Minneapolis to detain and deport people living in the country illegally. In Minnesota, which has a large Somali community, immigration officers will increase following Noem's recent announcement. Minnesota is also under federal investigation for problems in its childcare industry, which the administration has connected to Somali immigrants. Past attempts to end TPS for other countries such as Haiti have faced legal battles. This news is developing and updates will follow.
