A magistrate ordered a late-hour extension of Temporary Protected Status permits for Somali nationals in the country.
The ruling lets them retain work rights through the latest review cycle. This came after lawyers for the permit holders pressed the court to act ahead of renewal deadlines. Earlier extensions had covered other nationalities, but Somalis faced tighter timelines before the ruling. The new extension creates a window for further checks, but does not offer permanent fixes. Other Somali permit holders still prepare for final decisions.
