Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) appeared at a news conference responding to President Trump’s declaration that he was terminating Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota. “It is unfortunate that we are led by a president who does not understand the laws of this land,” said Rep. Omar. “When the president tweets as if he has the authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Somalis in Minnesota, even little kids in eighth grade know that that is not an authority that the president has and can wield. Temporary status protection for Somalis expires in March of 2026, and anyone with that status has 60 days after for it to have any impact on them. And so, if you are confused, if you feel threatened, know that the law is on your side and our demented president can’t do anything about it.”
