UNPUB: President Trump threatens termination of Somali TPS

  1. Original Date Announced

    November 21, 2025

    President Trump posted on Truth Social that he is terminating, "effective immediately," temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota. The post alleges that Somalis are "terrorizing the people" in Minnesota, and that Minnesota is “a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.”

    According to the New York Times, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said that DHS would evaluate whether to end protection for Somalis under the program. Doing so would require giving 60 days’ notice. Secretary Noem suggested that, if the status was revoked, the change would apply to Somali immigrants across the country, and not just in Minnesota. Minnesota has the country’s largest Somali community.
