Somalis in US to keep protected status
By Max Greenwood - 07/19/18 07:14 PM EDT The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved on Thursday to extend the special immigration status of Somalis in the U.S., allowing them to remain in the country at least until March 2020.
Temporary protected status (TPS) was first designated for Somalis in 1991 following the collapse of long-time dictator Siad Barre's government.
There are roughly 500 Somali beneficiaries of the special status.
