Judge Lets Trump End TPS for 2,471 Somalis After Supreme Court Curbs Review

Summary
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs lifted her stay Friday, allowing the Trump administration to terminate Somalia’s Temporary Protected Status and exposing affected migrants without other legal status to deportation.
June’s Supreme Court ruling in Mullin v. Doe sharply limited lower-court review of TPS terminations, and Burroughs said that precedent bound her even though she found plaintiffs showed likely irreparable harm.
The administration announced the Somalia termination in January, arguing conditions had improved enough to end the humanitarian designation.
The case affects several thousand Somalis in the U.S., including 2,471 current TPS holders and 1,383 pending applicants, while plaintiffs continue to press Fifth Amendment discrimination claims.
