President Trump Ends Temporary Protected Status for Thousands of Somalis Living in the U.S.
By The Blog Source
Following a 33-year designation, the Trump administration is terminating Somalia's Temporary Protected Status and directing Somali nationals covered by the program to depart the US by March 17. The decision is a significant departure from decades of automatic renewals that subtly transformed an emergency humanitarian measure into a permanent immigration status. It impacts thousands of people nationwide, including hundreds in Minnesota.
President Trump, back on November 21, 2025, announced in a post on Truth Social his plan to end the TPS Program for Somalis in Minnesota. Despite Democrat distractionary tactics about the rampant fraud in Minnesota, President Trump’s administration is taking decisive action by moving forward with the termination of the TPS Program for Somalians.
According to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, the action is in line with the law's clear language and present circumstances. Noem clarified that Somalia no longer satisfies the legal requirements needed to preserve TPS, saying, "Temporary means temporary." She emphasized that the government is committed to upholding immigration law as established and said that maintaining the designation forever is "contrary to our national interests."

Approximately 2,471 Somali nationals currently have TPS in the US, and 1,383 more are awaiting application, according to federal immigration data. An estimated 600 of those recipients are from Minnesota, with the majority of them residing in the Twin Cities metro area.

Following the discovery of a massive fraud scheme connected to Somali community members that authorities claim cost taxpayers close to $9 billion, DHS and ICE are continuing their enforcement efforts in Minneapolis. Federal officials have cited that case as part of a larger initiative to strengthen oversight and undo years of inconsistent enforcement.
Democratic officials in Minnesota have harshly criticized the enforcement push. Attorney General Keith Ellison declared that DHS was illegally targeting the state and filed a lawsuit to stop the federal operations. Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have all openly denounced the administration's actions.
Following a tragic incident during an ICE operation in south Minneapolis, where an immigration officer shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, tensions increased even further. According to DHS, the officer opened fire after Good drove her car in the direction of the agents after they asked her to get out. Even while DHS maintained its version of events, Noem later called Good a “domestic terrorist” and said that she had militarized her car, which heightened criticism from state and local authorities.
Due to civil turmoil, Somalia was first granted TPS more than thirty years ago. The Biden administration most recently renewed the status in September 2024. President Trump's quick decision to end it shows that temporary protections won't automatically be seen as permanent anymore, setting a clear limit for a program that his administration thinks has gone too far from what it was meant to do.
