Breaking: U.S. Ends Temporary Protected Status for Somalis — Must Leave by March 17
Washington / Minneapolis — The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security has announced
that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals will be terminated effective March 17, 2026. Under this decision,
thousands of Somali immigrants who currently rely on TPS to remain legally in the United States will be required to leave the country by that date.
Fox News
What This Means
The TPS program was first granted to Somali
nationals in 1991
due to the prolonged civil war in Somalia.
The Trump administration has determined that conditions in Somalia have “improved” enough — legally — to no longer justify TPS eligibility.
NewsWall
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that “temporary means temporary,” and cited national interest and legal interpretations as reasons for ending the status.
NewsWall
Who Is Affected
According to recent reporting:
Around 2,471 Somali nationals currently hold TPS in the United States.
Of those, about 600 reside in Minnesota — a state with a large Somali-American community.
Ground News
Tied To Broader Enforcement Actions
The ending of TPS is happening amid an ongoing ICE enforcement surge in Minneapolis and
surrounding areas — where federal immigration agents have been conducting operations against individuals without lawful status.
Dalmar updates
Local Backlash & Legal Challenges
Minnesota political leaders,
including the state
attorney general and city officials, have sued the Trump administration, arguing that these
enforcement actions unfairly target communities of color and potentially violate constitutional protections.
Ground News
Context
This policy shift is part of a broader hardline immigration stance under President Trump’s current administration. ..Ending TPS for Somali nationals marks a significant escalation
in the rollback
of temporary protections
previously extended under earlier administrations.
Dalmar updates.
Analysis: What This Could Mean Going Forward
Political implications:
The move comes at a politically sensitive time,
with immigration policy central to U.S. domestic debates. Critics argue that ending TPS for Somalis — and the aggressive enforcement in Minnesota — could inflame tensions in communities that have long been hubs of Somali-American life. Supporters of the decision claim it is a lawful effort to “prioritize American interests.”
NewsWall
Human impact:
For Somali families, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for decades and built businesses, schools, and community institutions,
this decision introduces urgency, uncertainty, and potential upheaval.
Compliance with the March deadline will require .significant adjustments — including travel,
.resettlement planning, or legal challenges.
Ground News
Legal and diplomatic angles:
The administration’s choice to decertify Somalia for TPS status will likely face legal scrutiny,
especially given the historical
context of how and
why TPS was granted in the first place.
There are also potential diplomatic .
.reverberations, as Somalia continues to navigate
its own internal governance challenges while
watching its diaspora face sudden policy shifts abroad.
