Trump to Revoke Legal Status for 240,000 Ukrainians
Reports have emerged suggesting that the Trump administration plans to revoke the temporary legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who sought refuge in the United States due to the conflict with Russia. This policy change, potentially effective from April, is part of a broader initiative to rescind parole status for over 1.8 million migrants under humanitarian programs initiated by the previous administration.
However, the White House has denied these claims. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated, “This is more fake news from Reuters based on anonymous sources who have no idea what they are talking about. The truth: no decision has been made at this time.”
The proposed revocation could expedite deportation processes for the affected Ukrainians, marking a significant shift from the previous administration’s welcoming stance. This development comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Ukraine, following a public dispute between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which led to the U.S. pausing military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
