Thousands of Somalis Face Deportation After Trump Administration Removes Protections |
The Trump administration is ending the temporary protected status designation for Somalia, a move that will affect several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S.
“Temporary means temporary,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
“Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” the secretary continued. “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”
