“Advocates called on the administration to redesignate TPS for Somalia because not only are dangerous conditions ongoing, in some cases they are deteriorating,” said Jill Marie Bussey, CLINIC’s advocacy director. “In the past few weeks, Al-Shabaab has carried out a series of horrific attacks, including the Dec. 28 bombing that killed nearly 80 people in Somalia’s capital. These conditions are not safe for current TPS holders and they are not safe for the people who would have benefited from redesignation. The failure to redesignate and offer protection for more recently arrived Somalis is senseless and cruel.”
