In this in‑depth episode, we unpack Donald Trump’s late‑night Truth Social pledge to “immediately” end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Somali immigrants in Minnesota. Announced on November twenty‑second, this message has shaken Somali communities in the Twin Cities, raising urgent questions about what a social media post can and cannot do to people’s legal status, and what happens as the current Somalia TPS designation heads toward its March twenty‑twenty‑six expiration date.
We’ll walk through exactly what TPS is, how it protects Somali nationals nationwide, and why it cannot legally be ended on a state‑by‑state basis. You’ll hear how many people are affected, why Minnesota is at the center of this story, and what immigration lawyers are saying about the practical impact right now. We’ll also talk about the key dates, the political context, and realistic next steps for TPS holders and their families.
If you’re a Somali TPS holder, a family member, an advocate, or anyone trying to understand how presidential promises interact with federal immigration law, this episode is designed to give you calm, clear, action‑oriented guidance at a tense moment.
