WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday he is “immediately” ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis living in Minnesota.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote Minnesota is “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and called out “Somali gangs.”
“It’s OVER!” the president wrote.
TPS is a legal status granted by the Department of Homeland Security allowing foreign nationals to live in the U.S. if returning to their home country puts them in harm’s way. Somalia’s status has been in effect since 1991 and is due to expire in March.
