Trump Plans To Revoke Legal Status Of Ukrainians Who Fled To US, Sources Say by AImiron(op): 12:41pm On Mar 06, 2025
WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.

The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week. It is part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, the sources said.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the department had no announcements at this time. The White House and Ukrainian embassy did not respond to requests for comment

A Trump executive order issued on January 20 called for DHS to "terminate all categorical parole programs."The administration plans to revoke parole for about 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans as soon as this month, the Trump official and one of the sources familiar with the matter said, requesting anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The plan to revoke parole for those nationalities was first reported, opens new tab by CBS News.

Migrants stripped of their parole status could face fast-track deportation proceedings, according to an internal ICE email seen by Reuters.

Immigrants who cross the border illegally can be put into the fast-track deportation process known as expedited removal, for two years after they enter. But for those who entered through legal ports of entry without being officially "admitted" to the U.S. - as with those on parole - there is no time limit on their rapid removal, the email said.

The Biden programs were part of a broader effort to create temporary legal pathways to deter illegal immigration and provide humanitarian relief.
In addition to the 240,000 Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion, and the 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans, these programs covered more than 70,000 Afghans escaping the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.


An additional 1 million migrants scheduled a time to cross at a legal border crossing via an app known as CBP One.

Now I understand why the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. appeared emotional when Zelensky was having a tense back-and-forth with the President in the Oval Office. The US support is fading daily, this fallout is monumental, and at this ‘find out’ stage, Zelensky’s political survival is highly uncertain.

I have no sympathy. As an African, I am laughing as the world gets a taste of the dehumanising actions of certain countries.

As a teacher would cry out - To your tents, O Israel. Don't rely on man. He is like a broken broomstick.

Re: Trump Plans To Revoke Legal Status Of Ukrainians Who Fled To US, Sources Say by philiancoop(m):
So these guys were sitting quietly when people were hating on Latino and Africans Immigrants. Chaining and deporting them. These guys kept entering and no one complained. they wont give asylum to black people and Latinos as easy as white immigrants.
they wont deport white people and would rather make them legal by giving them papers fast.
THESE GUYS ARE RACISTS.

Some people don’t get it. This initiative might actually not see the light of the day but all trump wants to achieve is Ukrainians heating up their president so hard that he would have no choice than to rush back and sign the deal, by this time on his KNEELS. When Ukrainians themselves give their president the hot way, then the goal is accomplished by Trump. People at home would definitely not want their families deported back. It’s all game and Trump is winning 😂

Stood up to the country that is supplying you with money and weapons?? Are you serious?.
So you want the US to continue spending money on a war that Ukraine won't win and will result in more killings?? So Trump is a dictator for not wanting to spend more money. Ok
