Trump Minnesota Somali immigrants Temporary Protective Status.

President Donald Trump says he’s “immediately” ending temporary legal protections for Somali migrants in Minnesota. He announced the decision on his social media site on Friday night, posting that Minnesota is a hub of fraudulent money laundering. Trump says Somali gangs are terrorizing the state. Minnesota has the largest Somali community in the U.S. Many fled civil war in Somalia and were drawn to the state’s welcoming social programs. The Temporary Protective Status program was created in 1990 to prevent deportations to dangerous countries. Trump has repeatedly sought to weaken this program as part of his hardline immigration policies.
