The Trump administration will end Temporary Protected Status for some Somali nationals in the US, affecting about 1,100 people and likely facing legal challenges. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cited improved conditions in Somalia for the decision, claiming it is in the national interest. The Somali community has been targeted by Trump, with allegations of fraud and threats to revoke citizenship. Aggressive immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota have sparked anger and condemnation, including a fatal shooting of a US citizen monitoring federal immigration activity.
