明尼阿波利斯州议员批评终止索马里人的TPS
明尼苏达州众议院明尼阿波利斯代表团周二发表声明,谴责特朗普政府宣布将于3月结束索马里人的临时保护地位(TPS)。
该代表团称此举是“对几十年来两党人道主义政策的重大背离”
“TPS之所以存在,是因为指定国家的条件符合与冲突和不稳定相关的明确法定标准。结束这些保护不会改变国外的现实,但它确实会在国内制造恐惧、破坏家庭和社区的稳定,”他们说。
“作为明尼阿波利斯代表团,我们与索马里明尼阿波利斯人站在一起,与所有受到终止TPS影响的社区站在一起。我们反对分离家庭、破坏社区稳定和侵蚀公众信任的移民政策,”他们补充说。

The delegation called the move "a significant departure from decades of bipartisan humanitarian policy."
"TPS exists because conditions in designated countries meet clear statutory standards related to conflict and instability. Ending these protections does not change the realities on the ground abroad, but it does create fear, disrupt families, and destabilize communities here at home," they said.
“As the Minneapolis Delegation, we stand with Somali Minnesotans and with all communities impacted by the termination of TPS. We oppose immigration policies that separate families, undermine community stability, and erode public trust," they added.
