The Trump administration is ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalians in the United States.
TPS allows individuals from a country where war or other forms of unrest are taking place to remain in the United States when they would not be eligible to be admitted through other immigration programs.
The Department of Homeland Security said TPS for the group ends March 17.
“Temporary means temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, according to Fox News.
“Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.”
Fox noted that Somalis have been covered by TPS since 1991.
“Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests,” Noem said.
“We are putting Americans first.”
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said there are 2,471 Somali nationals covered by TPS. Of those, 1,383 have TPS applications pending.
About 600 of the Somalis covered by TPS live in Minnesota, which had emerged in recent weeks as the epicenter of government fraud operations. Many agencies that were involved in the fraud served the Somali community.
Trump had foreshadowed the action in November in a post on Truth Social.
“Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER! President DJT,” Trump wrote.

Au revoir !
Three more years of this, please!
Good. This is exactly why I voted for Trump.
To get Protected Status and then steal everything they can ,what twisted people
I ain’t no wheres yet tiiired of winning!
Round ‘em up, Boys.
With Moscow rules.
So much stolen US money has gone into Somalia that Mogadishu is undergoing a property development and building boom.
But are they actually leaving? ( And if so, whatever will hard-working Minnesotans do for day care? )
A good start.
Buh-bye, don’t let the door, etc.
Same for me.
Biden won “liberal” Minnesota by about 137,000 votes. How many of those were fraudulent Somali votes?
Don’t let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

In related news, in “means tested” payments alone, the removal of these 2,781 migrants is expected to save $217,448,000.
That’s not counting fraud, crime, et al.
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
Almost heaven, Mogadishu
Sandy dunes and dysentery waters
Life’s a scold there, no mold and no trees
Younger than mohammed, blown up like the Jews!
Cratered Road, take me home
To the place, I belong
Mogadishu, bullet pockmarks
Take me home, Cratered Road!
Reminds me of a joke (sort of) my brother told me in my youth.
He said every year thousands of people are forced to leave high school.
They graduate.
2,471 isn’t even a drop in the bucket.
We’ve been thrown a bone, izall.
