CBC News — Trump ends temporary protected status for Somalis living in U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is ending temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis in the United States, press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X on Tuesday, requiring them to leave by March 17. “Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17,” Leavitt wrote on X, quoting a Fox News article that first broke the story. Trump in November said he was immediately terminating temporary deportation protections for Somalis living in Minnesota, accelerating the end of a program that began in 1991 under former Republican president George H.W. Bush.
