Trump Admin Ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests.”
The Trump administration has decided to end temporary protected status (TPS) for Somalis.
The Somalis must leave by March 17.
“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) told Fox News that 2,471 Somali nationals currently reside in America under TPS and 1,383 have pending TPS applications.
“Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests,” Noem said. “We are putting Americans first.”
Somalis first received TPS in 1991 due to the ongoing civil war.
President Joe Biden extended TPS for Somalis several times.
According to USCIS, the DHS secretary can “designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately.”
DHS can terminate TPS when a country’s conditions improve, or the secretary deems it contrary to national interest, as Noem stated.
The move comes after DHS added more agents in Minnesota after the exposure of a $9 billion fraud scheme using government money involving numerous people in the Somali community.
The people used stolen money to fund their lavish lifestyles.
Then Nick Shirley uncovered a fake daycare fraud scheme in Minnesota involving Somalis.

Good. Get them out.
Wring every cent out of them.
If I can make a suggestion…
We should stand down every airliner in the United States for a few days so we can press them into service removing these cretins from our midst once and for all.
I’m willing to chip in a few bucks to the peanut and coca-cola fund for them.
Oh please, the Trump administration will attempt to remove Temporary Protected Status from the Somalis, they will immediately run to the federal district court of their choice and demand a TOS/injunction, and then a liberal, leftist federal district court judge will immediately impose that injunction or TOS on the Trump administration and prohibit them from acting to remove TPS from the Somalis until such time as the matter can be slow walked through the district court system. Which of course will take at least a couple of years to do. Guaranteed.
Only a dedicated left wiing Democrat could define ‘temporary’ as 35 years.
Just like tollways are “temporary” until they’re “paid off.” 50 years later, they’re still not freeways.
Like the WWI “temporary telephone tax”.
Or “15 days to slow the spread.”
Speaking of. I saw someone wearing a covid mask today.
Very common with democrap voters in the Detroit area.
Look up short feature, The Covidiot on YT.

Hooray! Best news I’ve heard today. Each one is equal to about $500k of fraud.
The Executive needs the ability to act/react quickly to ongoing events and that means grants of authority. That said, we’ve got to apply a limiting principle otherwise we end up with ‘temporary’ lasting decade upon decade. IMO the way to accomplish this is to require Congressional approval for any extension or renewal of the initial Executive action beyond six months and every six months thereafter as a stand alone vote.
