The US this month announced it will end Temporary Protected Status for Somali immigrants in March. The decision has sparked strong emotions, particularly in states like Minnesota, where a large Somali community has built deep roots. For many families, the news brings uncertainty and fear. For politicians, it has become another tool for outrage. Beyond the noise, this moment offers a rare opportunity to move past slogans and talking points and instead approach the immigration debate with honesty, responsibility and clear-eyed judgment.
