Trump to end temporary protected status for Somali immigrants in Minnesota

Move could affect hundreds of Somalis who fled civil war in their home country

Donald Trump said on Friday night that he's immediately" terminating temporary legal protections for Somali migrants living in Minnesota, further targeting a program seeking to limit deportations that his administration has already repeatedly sought to weaken.

Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali community. Many fled the long civil war in the east African country and were drawn to the state's welcoming social programs.
