America awoke this morning to a wave of fear, confusion, and heartbreak after a stunning fictional late-night executive order instantly stripped protections from Somali nationals who have lived in the United States for decades.
There was no warning.
No press conference.
No briefing to Congress.
Just a single signature in the dead of night — and an entire community plunged into crisis by morning.
By sunrise, lawyers were overwhelmed, schools were scrambling, families were sobbing, and cities with large Somali populations were describing the fallout as a “humanitarian shockwave.”
A Midnight Move That Left Families With Nothing but Questions

The fictional order was signed close to midnight, quietly uploaded to the federal register, and effective immediately.
For tens of thousands of Somali nationals who have lived under humanitarian protections for years — some for decades — everything changed at once.
“One moment we had status. The next moment, it was gone,” said one Minneapolis resident in the scenario, describing the panic that swept through her community.
Parents stayed home from work.
Workers fearfully logged off rideshare apps.
Entire neighborhoods went silent overnight.
And when children arrived at school this morning, counselors said the same heartbreaking phrase echoed through classrooms:
“Are they taking my mom away?”
