US EditionLawsuit Challenges Trump Administration's Ending of Protections for Somalis
Lawsuit challenges procedural flaws and racial bias claims in DHS decision to end Temporary Protected Status for 1,082 Somali immigrants and 1,383 applicants.
- On March 9, 2026, four Somali plaintiffs and two advocacy groups filed a federal suit in Boston federal court seeking to stop DHS from ending Somali TPS and postponing its March 17, 2026 expiration.
- DHS's decision to end Somalia's TPS was based on claims of improved conditions, but plaintiffs argue it was procedurally flawed and motivated by discrimination, according to their lawsuit.
- About 1,082 Somali TPS beneficiaries and 1,383 pending applicants face ongoing threats, while the quote 'They come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but bitch,' is cited as evidence of bias, attributed to Trump.
- If the court fails to block DHS's move, TPS holders risk losing work authorization, legal status, and facing deportation proceedings, while families of Somali TPS holders may suffer forced separation and a climate of terror, Ramla Sahid warns.
- The administration is appealing TPS disputes to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking to end protections for over 350,000 Haitians and about 6,000 Syrians amid mixed lower court rulings.
