Lawsuit challenges Trump administration’s ending of protections for Somalis

Summary

• Lawsuit claims TPS termination for Somalis is discriminatory
• TPS protects eligible migrants from deportation, allows work
• Trump administration appealing TPS decisions for other countries

BOSTON, March 9 (Reuters) – Immigrant rights advocates filed a lawsuit on Monday seeking to stop U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration from next week ending legal protections that allow nearly 1,100 Somalis to live and work in the United States.

The lawsuit, brought by four Somalis and two advocacy groups, challenges the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Somali immigrants, whom Trump has derided in public remarks.

Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in January announced that TPS for Somalis would end on March 17, arguing that Somalia’s conditions had improved, despite fighting continuing between Somali forces and al-Shabaab militants.

The plaintiffs, who include the groups African Communities Together and Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans, in the lawsuit filed in Boston federal court argue the move was procedurally flawed and driven by a discriminatory, predetermined agenda.

The lawsuit cites a series of statements Trump has made describing Somalis as “garbage” and “low IQ people” who “contribute nothing.”

The plaintiffs said the administration is ending TPS for Somalia and other countries due to unconstitutional bias against non-white immigrants, not based on objective assessments of country conditions.

“The termination of TPS for Somalia is racism masking as immigration policy,” Omar Farah, executive director at the legal group Muslim Advocates, said in a statement.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment. It has previously said TPS was “never intended to be a de facto amnesty program.”

TPS is a form of humanitarian immigration protection that shields eligible migrants from deportation and allows them to work. Under Noem, DHS has moved to end TPS for a dozen countries, sparking legal challenges.

The administration on Saturday announced plans to pursue an appeal at the U.S. Supreme Court in order to end TPS for over 350,000 Haitians. It also wants the high court to allow it to end TPS for about 6,000 Syrians.

SOMALI COMMUNITY TARGETED

Somalia was first designated for TPS in 1991, with its latest extension in 2024. About 1,082 Somalis currently hold TPS, and 1,383 more have pending applications, according to DHS.

Somalis in Minnesota in recent months had become a target of Trump’s immigration crackdown, with officials pointing to a fraud scandal in which many people charged come from the state’s large Somali community.

The Trump administration cited those fraud allegations as a basis for a months-long immigration enforcement surge in Democratic-led Minnesota, during which about 3,000 immigration agents were deployed, spurring protests and leading to the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal agents.

In November, Trump announced he would end TPS for Somalis in Minnesota, and a month later said he wanted them sent “back to where they came from.”

The U.S. Department of State advises against traveling to Somalia, citing crime and civil unrest among numerous factors.

伊朗高官：霍尔木兹海峡安全无法恢复 | 联合早报

伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书拉里贾尼说，只要美国和以色列仍对伊朗进行军事打击，霍尔木兹海峡的安全就无法得以恢复。

新华社报道，拉里贾尼星期一（3月9日）在社交媒体上针对法国总统马克龙涉霍尔木兹海峡的言论发表评论说，“在美国和以色列点燃的战火中，霍尔木兹海峡的任何安全都不太可能实现”，尤其是在某些方面还在助长这场战争升级的情况下。

马克龙当天早些时候说，法国和盟友准备开展一项“防御性”海军行动，旨在恢复霍尔木兹海峡正常通航。

霍尔木兹海峡是全球最重要的航运路线之一，也是最关键的石油运输咽喉。海峡北侧为伊朗，南侧为阿曼与阿拉伯联合酋长国。在最狭窄处，霍尔木兹海峡及航道完全位于伊朗与阿曼领海范围。专家指出，这是伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡的最有效方式之一。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队高级军官日前说，伊朗并未关闭霍尔木兹海峡，但任何属于美国或以色列的船只都将成为伊方打击目标。

美国和以色列2月28日对伊朗发动大规模军事行动，伊朗随即对以色列和中东地区的美军基地等发动报复性打击。

G7准备应对油价飙升 但暂不动用战略石油储备

2026年3月10日 11:18 / 联合早报

七国集团（G7）财政部长星期一（3月9日）同国际能源署举行视频会议，讨论在必要时联合释放战略石油储备，以缓解中东战事导致的原油价格飙升。

法国经济与财长莱斯屈尔说，与会代表已达成共识，若有需要，将动用一切必要工具来稳定市场，包括可能释放必要的石油储备，但他们认为，目前不会出现供应短缺，因此尚未到采取行动的时候。

莱斯屈尔在布鲁塞尔主持召开G7财长电话会议后对记者说：“我们还没走到那一步。”

一名G7官员告诉路透社，目前各方“普遍同意”暂不动用石油储备。“并非有人反对，只是时机尚未确定。还需要进行更多分析。”

这名官员表示最终决定将由G7领导人做出。法国为G7本年度轮值主席国，莱斯屈尔说，目前欧洲和美国的石油供应均无问题。

G7能源部长10日将进一步讨论如何应对油价飙升。

与此同时，美国总统特朗普9日说，美国将豁免部分与石油相关的制裁，以确保石油供应充足并降低油价。他说，油价的飙升幅度并未达到他此前的预期，但美国将取消部分与石油相关的制裁，直到霍尔木兹海峡局势稳定下来。

民调显示，67%的美国受访者预计国内的油价会在未来一年进一步恶化。六成认为美国在伊朗的军事行动将持续一段较长的时间。分析员指出，特朗普遏制油价飙升的工具有限，即使释放战略石油储备，也不足以弥补霍尔木兹海峡每天2000万桶石油的损失。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队说，任何将以色列和美国大使驱逐出境的阿拉伯国家或欧洲国家，可从星期三（3月11日）起拥有霍尔木兹海峡的完全通行权。

路透社报道，伊朗革命卫队于星期二发布这则声明，称阿拉伯国家或欧洲国家若驱逐以色列和美国的大使，就可以自由通过霍尔木兹海峡。

伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书拉里贾尼9日说，只要美国和以色列仍对伊朗进行军事打击，霍尔木兹海峡的安全就无法得以恢复。

霍尔木兹海峡是全球最重要的航运路线之一，也是最关键的石油运输咽喉。海峡北侧为伊朗，南侧为阿曼与阿拉伯联合酋长国。在最狭窄处，霍尔木兹海峡及航道完全位于伊朗与阿曼领海范围。专家指出，这是伊朗封锁霍尔木兹海峡的最有效方式之一。

美国总统特朗普9日晚警告，如果伊朗领导人试图切断世界能源供应，美国将采取更加激进的行动。

朝中社星期二（3月10日）报道，金与正说，美韩“自由之盾”联合演习分明是企图谋划与朝鲜对抗的挑衅侵略战争预演，而非“军事游戏”。

金与正还说，最近发生的全球地缘政治危机和国际事件证明，敌对国家野战兵力的一切军事动作没有防御和攻击、演习和实战的区别；为此做好万全准备，必须以先发制人的超强力攻势来压制敌人。

金与正强调，朝鲜的安全绝对不可侵犯，朝鲜彻底维护半岛和地区安全环境的意志是坚定不移的。

Swalwell’s eligibility for California governor backed by new evidence, as Steyer’s residency challenge raises privacy concerns

March 9, 2026 / 9:59 PM EDT / CBS News California

A sworn declaration, first obtained by CBS News California Investigates, supports Congressman Eric Swalwell’s claim that he is a California resident, as Tom Steyer, a rival candidate in the governor’s race, faces criticism for exposing Swalwell’s home address while calling for an investigation into his gubernatorial eligibility.

In the declaration, filed on March 6, Swalwell’s landlord states under penalty of perjury that the congressman has rented and lived at her Livermore property since 2017.

The landlord says Swalwell keeps significant belongings at the residence, receives mail there, and is registered to vote at that address.

Swalwell also submitted his own declaration stating that he holds a California driver’s license and is a licensed attorney with the State Bar of California. State Bar records confirm his law license has remained active since he was admitted to the bar in 2006.

Rival campaign raises residency questions

---

The declarations were filed last week, one day after fellow Democratic gubernatorial candidate and billionaire climate activist, Tom Steyer, petitioned the California Secretary of State (SOS) to “enforce the (residency) requirements of the California Constitution,” urging “robust legal proceedings as to whether Swalwell is eligible to serve as Governor.”

The California Constitution includes a five-year residency requirement for gubernatorial candidates, which the Secretary of State has long argued “violates the U.S. Constitution and is unenforceable.”

Steyer’s petition, first published by Politico last week, argues that Swalwell “appears to live in California on paper only, making him unlikely to meet the basic residency requirements to run for Governor.”

The filing revealed Swalwell’s home address along with public records detailing personal and financial information related to Swalwell’s landlord and her relatives.

According to documents laid out by Steyer’s attorneys, Swalwell’s Livermore landlord is related to his former deputy chief of staff and district director.

As a result, Steyer’s attorney argues that the uncertainty about Swalwell’s residency could give President Trump an opportunity to challenge the legitimacy of a potential Swalwell governorship.

Steyer’s general counsel warned that a hostile federal administration could attempt to exploit any legal ambiguity if Swalwell were elected, potentially raising questions about the state’s authority to deploy the California National Guard, access federal funding, or respond to emergencies.

In response to the recent sworn declarations, the Steyer campaign told CBS News California Investigates, “with so much at stake in this election and this administration making anti-democratic moves all across the country, we hope that the Congressman can resolve this issue to avoid Donald Trump or Republican extremists exploiting it down the line or creating confusion for voters later in the process.”

Ongoing lawsuit

---

The new declarations were filed as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by conservative filmmaker Joel Gilbert, who is also challenging Swalwell’s California residency.

Gilbert previously filed suit, arguing that because the East Bay representative listed a business address belonging to his attorney on his candidate intention statement, there is no proof that Swalwell still resides in California after 13 years in Congress.

Unenforced residency requirement

---

The dispute centers in part on a largely unenforced five-year residency requirement for gubernatorial candidates.

For years, the Secretary of State’s office has considered the requirement unconstitutional and unenforceable, noting in the state’s “Summary of Qualifications” for governor that “the California Constitution requires California residency for five years; however, it is the legal opinion of this office that this provision violates the U.S. Constitution and is unenforceable.”

Steyer’s campaign argues the rule should still be enforced or clarified to avoid future legal challenges.

Eleven Democratic members of the California Congressional Delegation signed on to a letter last week denouncing Steyer’s residency challenge.

“Steyer is personally going after a public servant who has long rented in his East Bay Congressional district,” Swalwell’s campaign consultant Kate Maeder said in an email. “California’s renters don’t need to be shamed by an out-of-touch billionaire.”

Privacy concerns

---

Steyer’s petition includes Swalwell’s full Livermore home address, raising concerns about the congressman’s safety and his ability to continue renting the property.

“The self-indulgent political act was negligent and thoughtless, Swalwell campaign consultant Kate Maeder said in an email. “As the Congressman is taking on Donald Trump, Swalwell has had to implement extreme security measures to protect himself and his family. He received over 100 death threats last year alone, many of which were directed towards his family.”

Steyer’s campaign did not respond to questions about the apparent breach of privacy.

泽连斯基寻求新一轮和谈 但盟友重心转向伊朗

2026年3月10日 10:44 / 联合早报

乌克兰总统泽连斯基说，乌克兰已准备好“随时”与俄罗斯举行由美国斡旋的新一轮和平谈判，但乌克兰伙伴国的注意力目前都集中在美国和以色列与伊朗的冲突上。美国已要求推迟即将举行的美乌俄会议。

路透社报道，泽连斯基星期一（3月9日）用英文在社媒X平台写道：“目前，合作伙伴的优先事项和所有注意力都放在围绕伊朗的局势，因此，原定本周举行的会议应美方要求被推迟。”

“然而，乌克兰已准备好随时举行和谈，只要和谈形式务实，并有助于结束战争。”

泽连斯基指，俄罗斯正试图操纵中东和波斯湾局势以利于其侵略，“这实际上将使伊朗政权对邻国和美国基地的打击，成为俄罗斯对乌克兰战争乃至更广泛地对抗整个西方世界的第二战线。这种局面绝不能被允许发生。”

旨在结束俄罗斯和乌克兰长达四年的战争的多轮会谈，在关键问题上均未取得进展，其中包括俄罗斯要求基辅放弃莫斯科军队尚未占领的土地。

行程紧凑叠加安全考虑 港媒：特朗普访华将仅限于北京

2026年3月10日 08:43 / 联合早报

消息人士透露，由于行程安排紧凑且出于安全考虑，美国总统特朗普本月下旬访华期间将不会前往北京以外的任何城市。

香港媒体《南华早报》星期一（3月9日）晚引述数名消息人士表示，美国先遣队3月初已抵达北京，此次高规格峰会的筹备工作并已进入最后阶段。

一名消息人士表示：“遗憾的是，他（特朗普）的行程安排非常紧凑，根本没有时间再去第二个城市。”

白宫表示，特朗普将于3月31日至4月2日访问中国。如若成行，这将是自2017年以来在任美国总统首次访华。

另一名消息人士表示：“虽然行程安排紧凑，但安全也是首要考虑因素。”他说： “增加第二个目的地可能会危及安全，并造成后勤方面的难题，因此双方一致同意此次访问仅限于北京。”

他表示：“鉴于（中东）局势，此次访问的安保安排必须极其谨慎，但我们非常有信心峰会将取得成功。”

尽管美国近来频频打击伊朗、委瑞内拉等中国伙伴，但中国外长王毅星期天（8日）仍对中美领导人接下来的会面发出积极信号。他说，两国元首保持良好交往，为中美关系改善提供战略保障，又称今年是中美关系“大年”，高层交往议程已摆上桌面。

王毅星期天在中国全国人大会议的外交主题记者会上回答媒体提问时，发表上述讲话，相当于首次证实，中美未受中东局势影响，仍在为元首会面积极铺路。

被问及美国和以色列联手攻打伊朗会对特朗普访华造成什么影响，特朗普是否可能为达成美中贸易协议，而在台湾等问题让步，王毅回说，中美不打交道只会导致误解误判，走向冲突对抗更将殃及世界。

他也强调，中美虽然改变不了彼此，但可以改变相处方式——即秉持相互尊重的态度，守住和平共处的底线，争取合作共赢的前景。

Possible 2028 Democratic White House contenders weigh in on Iran with New Hampshire voters

2026-03-09T22:12:00-0400 / CBS News

As the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran overtakes the foreign policy debate in Washington, two Democratic governors with potential 2028 presidential aspirations — Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear — recently traveled to New Hampshire, introducing themselves to the state’s famously engaged voters. The two weighed in on the war and both criticized and questioned President Trump’s strategy and endgame.

“If a president is going to take a country into war, and risk the lives of American troops and Americans in the region, he has to have a real justification and not one that seems to change every five to 10 hours,” Beshear told CBS News after a Democratic fundraiser in Keene.

“This President seems to use force before ever trying diplomacy, and he has a duty to sell it to the American people and to address Congress with it,” Beshear continued. “He hasn’t done any of that. In fact, it appears there isn’t even a plan for what success looks like. He’s gone from regime change to strategic objectives and now is talking about unconditional surrender, which isn’t realistic where he is.”

Beshear also said he thought that Congress should have reined in Mr. Trump’s war powers.

“He is trying to ignore Congress. He’s trying to even ignore the American people,” Beshear said.

He went on to note that the president’s State of the Union address took place “three — four days before he launched this attack,” and Mr. Trump “didn’t even have the respect to tell the American people the threat that he thought Iran posed to us.”

Last week, both the House and the Senate failed to pass resolutions to limit Mr. Trump’s war powers and stop him from taking further military action against Iran without congressional support.

For Newsom, the war with Iran constitutes part of a broader criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

At an event last Tuesday in Los Angeles, Newsom had compared Israel to an “apartheid state.” Later, in New Hampshire, he sought to clarify his comment.

“I was specifically referring to a Tom Friedman [New York Times] column last week, where Tom used that word of apartheid as it relates to the direction Bibi is going, particularly on the annexation of the West Bank,” Newsom explained during a book tour event Thursday night in Portsmouth. “I’m very angry, with what he is doing and why he’s doing it, what he’s going to ultimately try to do to the Supreme Court there, what he’s trying to do to save his own political career.”

Friedman wrote that at the same time that the U.S. and Israel are prosecuting a war in Iran, within Israel, Netanyahu’s government has undertaken efforts to annex the West Bank, driving Palestinians from their homes; fire the attorney general who is leading the prosecution against Netanyahu for corruption; and block the government’s attempt to establish a commission to examine the failures that led up to the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Jews by Hamas.

CBS News has reached out to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., for comment.

On Iran, Newsom said, “I’m very angry about this war, with all due respect, you know, not because I’m angry the supreme leader is dead. Quite the contrary. I’m not naive about the last 37 years of his reign. Forty-seven years since ’79 — the revolution,” Newsom said. “But I’m also mindful that you have a president who still is inarticulate and incapable of giving us the rationale of why? Why now? What’s the endgame?”

Many attendees at Newsom’s book event said that the situation in Iran is a top-of-mind issue for them, too. Some said they’re “horrified” by what is happening.

29-year-old Alicia Marr told CBS News she decided to attend Newsom’s event because of his social media response to the war with Iran.

“There was one spot left, and I decided to pick it up, and it was due to his response to the war, that it is just unacceptable, and I would agree with that,” Marr said.

While some voters like Marr are eager to hear about where potential candidates stand on foreign policy, many at Newsom’s event said they care most about how potential candidates plan to address domestic issues.

“I’m more focused on getting the middle class back on track and fighting the oligarchy, and I’m less invested in international issues,” said Anita Alden, who also attended Newsom’s event,

“I wouldn’t call myself America first, but we have so many problems at home that are my priority,” she told CBS News.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who may also be weighing another White House bid, told Fox 2 Detroit last week that she “unequivocally opposes” the Trump administration’s military action in Iran and urged Congress to take action.

“If we want to stop Donald Trump with this random decision that he has arrived at, then Congress must act, and Congress must act immediately. The American people do not want our sons and daughters to go into this unauthorized war of choice,” Harris said.

Mr. Trump has lashed out against Democrats who have pushed back on his Iran strategy, calling them “losers” last week and arguing that they would criticize any decision he made on Iran.

“If I did it, it’s no good. If I didn’t do it, they would have said the opposite, that you should have done this,” the president said.

伊朗总统佩泽希齐扬星期一（3月9日）同土耳其总统埃尔多安通电话，均表示将为推动地区局势降温作出努力。

伊朗迈赫尔通讯社报道，佩泽希齐扬在通话中表示，伊朗始终准备为缓和地区紧张局势作出努力，前提是邻国的领空、领土、领海不被用于对伊朗人民发动攻击。

佩泽希齐扬说，以色列和美国试图在伊朗与邻国之间制造分歧，其关联媒体还指控伊朗向土耳其发动导弹袭击。伊方愿成立联合小组，调查有关指控，避免两国关系受到不实信息影响。

另据土耳其总统府新闻局发表的声明，埃尔多安在电话中说，美以伊冲突给土耳其带来负面影响。“任何侵犯我们领空的行为都是不可原谅的。”

埃尔多安还强调，土耳其政府将继续努力通过外交途径推动地区局势降温，并重申土方认为干涉伊朗事务是不可接受的。他指出，地区国家之间紧张局势升级既不符合邻国利益，也不利于伊朗。

美国和以色列2月28日对伊朗发动大规模军事行动，伊朗随即对以色列和中东地区的美军基地等发动报复性打击，一些中东国家受到波及。
