Judge Rules TPS For Somalis Can Be Ended

I’m still not sure why this is so difficult, being that the 18 month renewal period had already ended, and the Supreme Court basically said that the Executive Branch has control, not the courts, but, whatever

Trump scores major immigration victory as judge clears way to end TPS protections for thousands of Somalis

President Donald Trump scored a major legal victory Friday after a federal judge cleared the way for his administration to terminate temporary legal protections for thousands of Somali nationals living in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston lifted a stay that had prevented the Department of Homeland Security from terminating Somalia’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation, citing a June Supreme Court ruling that sharply limited judicial review of similar administration actions.

The decision allows the Trump administration to move forward with ending TPS for Somalia, potentially exposing affected migrants who lack another lawful basis to remain in the U.S. to deportation.

Burroughs, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had previously blocked the termination from taking effect in a lawsuit brought by four Somali nationals and two advocacy groups, including African Communities Together.

But

In Friday’s ruling, Burroughs said the plaintiffs had presented a compelling case but concluded that the Supreme Court’s decision constrained her ability to continue blocking the administration’s action.

Burroughs wrote that she was “bound … to view things through the Mullin prism,” referring to the Supreme Court case.

“Plaintiffs have made a convincing showing that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is withheld … and the balance of hardships and the public interest also favor Plaintiffs, given that the government has made no showing that maintaining TPS status for the duration of this litigation would impose an undue burden,” she wrote.

I fail to see the problem with sending them back. When Trump is out there slamming Somalia, the Democrats and their pet media are telling us that Somalia is great! I mean really, really great, and everyone should move back (notice the date). So, why can’t they go home?

Oh, and the thing is, the most recent 18 month time period for TPS for Somalis ended March 17,2026. No administration is under any obligation to renew TPS. Hence, time to go.
