A court ordered a last-minute extension of Temporary Protected Status permits for Somali residents in the country.
The ruling lets them retain work rights through the most recent review cycle. This came after lawyers for the permit holders pressed the court to act ahead of deadline deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other nationalities, but Somali applicants faced compressed timelines before the courtroom move. The new extension creates a window for further checks, but does not offer durable fixes. Other Somali permit holders still await final decisions.
