Some 5,071 Ukrainians were detained at US borders in March, figures released by the US Customs and Border Protection on Monday show.

The spike comes amid the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with botched illegal entry attempts growing fivefold compared to the February figures, when just over 1,100 Ukrainians were taken into custody at the border. A vast majority of those were caught by the US border guard at the southwestern frontier.

Over the past few years, the flow of Ukrainians detained while attempting to cross into the US each month has remained reasonably constant, hovering below the 1,000 mark on average, according to official data. The new came amid an overall spike in detentions at US sea and air borders. In March, nearly 250,000 people were detained, compared to some 190,000 in February. The vast majority of the people seeking to get into the US – some 220,000 – were apprehended at the Mexican frontier.

Many of the detained Ukrainians were ultimately released into US territory after being granted a humanitarian parole, the Washington Post reported. On Monday, the US administration extended temporary protected status for Ukrainians for another 18 months.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden pledged to take in 100,000 Ukrainian refugees fleeing the fighting in their homeland. Some five million people left the country after Russia launched a large-scale military operation against Ukraine late in February, according to figures from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered Minsk Protocol was designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Canada is definitely more migration friendly than the US.

Zelenski made the the biggest joke of the year . His Arrogance led his people to this .

Lol

I hope all the buffoons above me actually read the news or they're just commenting without sense.

They were arrested at the border and released into US on humanitarian grounds.

Do you think US border is porous like Nigeria border where bandits from Niger Republic enter and go at any time?

Even if you're qualified for assulum, when you show up at US border without a valid visa, they must detain, interview and profile you before ruling to deport or allow you into the US.

Lalasticlala, Mynd44, una no see this post to bring to front Page?

Don’t USA said all Ukrainians will be welcome like EU and Russia are welcoming those Ukrainians to their countries.
USA said they will welcome 100K Ukrainians yet they have only welcome just less than 100 Ukrainians citizens since the war while over 200K have already moved to Russia.

who did I offend bayii?






Zelensky is going through the above sentence

Hmmm

Fear woman before u fear NATO

Yes, they could go to Canada but they have to go through the USA in order for them to get there and enter Canada.

Just to enlighten you, the US is between Mexico and Canada. Anyone who wants to sneak into the US and want to go to Canada, he/she has to go through a lot of states before the person can reach Canada. And if you are an illegal Immigrant, good luck at Mexico and US border.

Also, the US will release into the USA because the USA knows the situation is in Ukraine. Anyone attempting to enter the USA illegally at the border are subjected to arrest until after questioning then you know your faith but with Ukrainians, they will be released and live their lives in USA.

What happens to those the US refuses entry? Do they return to Europe, Ukraine, or just hang around the border?

......The Scientist is Here......

There is no place like home. Russia and Ukraine should just make peace and let Ukrainians return home.
