A court ordered a late-hour extension of Temporary Protected Status permits for Somali nationals in the country.
The decision lets them hold onto 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 groups, but Somali applicants faced shorter timelines before the ruling. The new extension wins breathing room for further checks, but does not offer permanent fixes. Other Somali permit holders still prepare for final decisions.
