US Ends Protections for Somalis Nationwide

The US government has decided to end a special program that allowed Somalis to live in the US temporarily.

This means around 2,471 Somalis with this status, plus another 1,383 waiting for approval, will have to leave the country by March 17.

The government says conditions in Somalia are better now, so the program is no longer needed.

Meanwhile, there's a dispute between the US government and Minnesota's governor about releasing immigrants with criminal records.

The US government says Minnesota released nearly 470 immigrants with criminal records, which they believe is dangerous.

The governor hasn't responded to these claims yet.

This decision has caused protests in Minnesota, especially after a recent incident where a federal immigration agent shot and killed a woman.

Additionally, there have been more deaths in ICE detention centers, and the number of people in detention has increased significantly.

The Trump administration has been focusing on deporting immigrants, sometimes erroneously, as seen in the case of Kilmer Abrego-Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador despite a judge's ruling against his removal.
