President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have announced the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants.  The change comes as massive fraud is currently being investigated by multiple agencies of the U.S. government following discoveries in the Minnesota region.

(VIA FOX) – The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection.

Somali migrants with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17.

“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital 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.” (MORE)

VIA DHS – WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced the termination of Somalia’s designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The termination will be effective on March 17, 2026.

“Temporary means temporary. Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” said Secretary Noem. “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first.”

Somalia’s designation expires March 17, 2026. At least 60 days before a TPS designation expires, the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with appropriate U.S. government agencies, must review the country to determine whether the conditions supporting its designation continue to be met and, if so, how long to extend the designation.

Somali nationals who do not have a legal status other than TPS that would allow them to remain in the United States should use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s CBP Home mobile app to report their departure from the United States. The app is a safe, secure way to self-deport and includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and the opportunity for potential future legal immigration. [link]

On Wednesday, a confrontation between ICE agents and an aggressive anti-ICE protester in Minneapolis resulted in the ICE officer defending himself while a vehicle was weaponized against him.  The female driver named Renee Nicole Macklin Good (37) was shot and killed.

Antifa aligned activists have been chasing and trying to disrupt immigration enforcement operations throughout the Minneapolis area.  Leftist Mayor Frey and Minnesota Governor Walz are using the ICE shooting to stir up anxiety and take attention away from the rampant fraud recently outlined in the state.

DHS secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference to address the shooting.
