Boston, United States Immigrant advocates filed a federal lawsuit Monday to block the Department of Homeland Security’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for 1,100 Somali nationals set to end March 17. Plaintiffs include four Somali individuals and advocacy groups African Communities Together and the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans, alleging procedural errors and discriminatory intent linked to public statements by former President Trump. The case cites DHS decisions announced in January. Separately, on March 6 an appellate panel preserved a lower court order maintaining TPS for the Haitian migrants. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
