CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Condemns Trump Administration's Decision to End Temporary Protected Status for Somali Immigrants
In a recent statement, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson expressed his strong disapproval of the Trump administration's decision to revoke temporary protected status from Somali-born immigrants and long-time United States residents. The move, which has been met with widespread criticism, has been deemed as a racially motivated attack by the mayor.
Mayor Johnson stated that the decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Somali immigrants is not only deeply harmful but also a clear attempt to advance the President's xenophobic agenda. He further added that this decision was made on a whim and is causing families to be separated and households to be broken up.
