A court ordered a last-minute extension of Temporary Protected Status permits for Somali citizens in the United States.
The ruling lets them hold onto work rights through the latest review cycle. This came after lawyers for the beneficiaries pressed the court to act ahead of filing deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other populations, but Somali applicants faced shorter timelines before the ruling. The new extension creates a window for further checks, but does not offer durable fixes. Other Somali permit holders still await final decisions.
