Fox news reports that the Trump Administration has ended Temporary Protected Status for Somalis here in the US.

Those with TPS will be required to leave the country by March 17.

"Temporary means temporary," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status." 

"Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests," Noem added. "We are putting Americans first."
