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.

Sources at USCIS told Fox News Digital that there are 2,471 Somali nationals currently in the U.S. under TPS, with 1,383 in the country with pending TPS applications.

Fox News Digital learned that an estimated 600 Somali nationals who are protected by TPS live in Minnesota.

Trump announced he wanted to eliminate the status in Nov 2025

There is thought to be over 75,000 somalians in minnesota

I can't find a definite number of somali or somali related or decended population that is present in the U.S., but a couple of places say numbers of 250-300k.

This action doesn't make much more than a drop in the bucket.

Every little bit helps, naturalized or born citizens is a bit tricker to manage. The democraps knew exactly what they were setting up with importing these third word cretins.

The Somalian population from which our imports were drawn has an average IQ of about 68.

Trump has to do it one step at a time. Then he’ll do other stuff like kick out any caught in the fraud investigation. Then take them all off welfare.

If they can prove fraud in the naturalization process then they can be stripped of their citizenship.

Something else to know, prior to about 1970 IQ below 80 to 83 was considered literally mentally retarded to some degree, after 1970 the “experts” moved that number down to 67 ish, so in reality we have WAY mor retarded people walking around than people are aware of.

Further proof that our elite know this is the fact if your IQ is less than 83 the military will not recruit you.

Isn’t that a neat little fact!
