A court ordered a last-minute extension of Temporary Protected Status permits for Somali residents in the U.S..
The decision lets them retain work rights through the most recent review cycle. This came after lawyers for the status holders pressed the court to act ahead of renewal deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other groups, but Somalis 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.
