TPS Somalia | Pansamantalang protektadong katayuan

What is TPS?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows people from certain countries to stay and work in the U.S. if it is not safe for them to return home due to war, disasters, or other emergencies.

Is TPS for Somalia still valid?

Yes, people from Somalia with TPS still have this protection due to a court case.

Separately, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. This ruling will likely affect the court case for TPS Somalia.
