A federal judge ordered a last-minute extension of TPS permits for Somali residents in the United States.
The order lets them keep work rights through the latest review cycle. This came after lawyers for the permit holders pressed the court to act ahead of renewal deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other nationalities, but Somalis faced compressed timelines before the ruling. The new extension buys time for further checks, but does not offer long-term fixes. Other Somali permit holders still await final decisions.
