US Terminates Somalia TPS Designation, End Date Set for March 17, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security announced that Somalia’s Temporary Protected Status designation will end on March 17, 2026, citing improved country conditions and alignment with national interests. Somali nationals without another lawful status should depart or seek alternative status, with guidance to use the CBP Home app to report departures; the app reportedly offers a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential pathways for future immigration, with additional details in the Federal Register Notice.
