Minneapolis state lawmakers criticize termination of TPS for Somalis
The Minneapolis delegation of the Minnesota House of Representatives released a statement Tuesday decrying the Trump administration's announcement that it would end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis in March.
The delegation called the move "a significant departure from decades of bipartisan humanitarian policy."
"TPS exists because conditions in designated countries meet clear statutory standards related to conflict and instability. Ending these protections does not change the realities on the ground abroad, but it does create fear, disrupt families, and destabilize communities here at home," they said.
“As the Minneapolis Delegation, we stand with Somali Minnesotans and with all communities impacted by the termination of TPS. We oppose immigration policies that separate families, undermine community stability, and erode public trust," they added.
