The U.S. is set to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis nationwide, with the status expiring March 17. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cited improved country conditions in Somalia, though fighting with al-Shabaab continues. This decision affects approximately 2,471 Somalis with TPS and 1,383 with pending applications. The move follows President Trump's earlier termination of TPS for Somalis in Minnesota, amid allegations of fraud and heightened tensions in the state. Legal challenges are anticipated.
