What to know as temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota could end
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
President Donald Trump called to eliminate a program that provides what’s known as temporary protected status to migrants to the U.S. from Somalia. In a social media post on Friday, he linked Minnesota’s Somali population to a quote “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” and alleged without proof that Somali gangs are terrorizing the state.
Minnesota is home to the largest population of Somali immigrants in the country. Joining Minnesota Now to explain temporary protected status and how this is affecting Minnesota is Julia Decker, the policy director at the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
