US EditionMinn. Leaders Push Back over Trump Threat to End TPS for Somalis
Minnesota officials and community leaders denounce Trump’s unilateral TPS termination threat citing lack of evidence and legal authority, with about 400 Somali Minnesotans affected.
- Late Friday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he would terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota effective immediately, accusing Somali gangs of terrorizing the state and billions missing from state programs.
- The Manhattan Institute investigation, which cited unnamed sources including a former Minneapolis Joint Terrorism Task Force official, claims money laundered from Minnesota state programs was funneled to Al-Shabaab in recent years.
- On Sunday, a gathering at Karmel Mall drew more than 200 faith leaders and community members decrying escalated Islamophobic rhetoric.
- Keith Ellison said the DHS has not issued any orders to terminate TPS, and the social media post has no legal effect, with legal challenges expected, Alec Shaw noted.
- The Somalia TPS designation expires March 12, 2026, with a 60-day grace period, and this month DHS ended TPS for Burma and South Sudan while courts blocked efforts against Syrian TPS holders.
