A federal judge ordered a last-minute extension of TPS permits for Somali residents in the country.
The decision 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 deadline deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other groups, but Somali applicants faced shorter timelines before today's order. The new extension creates a window for further checks, but does not offer durable fixes. Other Somali permit holders still prepare for final decisions.
