House GOP bill could trigger self-deportation for Somali refugees amid Minnesota fraud probe

A Republican lawmaker has introduced a bill that would end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from several countries, including Somalia, in response to ongoing investigations into alleged large-scale fraud within Minnesota's social services. If passed, the bill would require affected refugees to leave the United States within 180 days. The move comes amid heightened scrutiny of Minnesota's Somali community, as federal prosecutors investigate billions of dollars in suspected fraud involving state and federal programs. The controversy has also influenced state politics, with Minnesota's governor deciding not to seek reelection amid the fallout.
