A federal judge ordered a late-hour extension of TPS permits for Somali nationals in the U.S..
The ruling lets them keep work rights through the latest review cycle. This came after lawyers for the status holders pressed the court to act ahead of filing deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other groups, but Somali applicants faced compressed timelines before today's order. The new extension buys time for further checks, but does not offer long-term fixes. Other Somali permit holders still await final decisions.
