Trump Drops Hammer On Somalis, Revokes Temporary Protective Status

The Trump administration is pulling Temporary Protected Status for Somalia, ordering thousands of Somali migrants to leave the United States by March 17, including hundreds living in Minnesota.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the designation no longer meets legal standards.

“Temporary means temporary,” Noem told Fox News Digital. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”

“Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests,” she added. “We are putting Americans first.”

Federal immigration officials say 2,471 Somali nationals are currently living in the United States under TPS, with another 1,383 applications still pending. Roughly 600 of those TPS recipients live in Minnesota, according to DHS sources.

Somalia was first granted temporary protected status in 1991 because of its long-running civil war. The Biden administration last extended the designation in September 2024.

So what is the procedure? Do we just put them on a plane and send their @$$E$ packing back to Somalia?
I am seriously asking, not looking to argue.

Sending a 1,000 more ICE agents into Minneapolis to remove those who no longer have any right to be here.

I believe that they’re expected to leave on their own volition within a certain period of time, after which they can be forcibly removed.  It’s probably a 30 day grace period.

Enough time for a court to overturn or stop what Trump is trying to do.

If they didn’t follow APA procedures properly, that’s a distinct possibility.
