Trump Administration Plans to Revoke Legal Status for 240,000 Ukrainian Refugees

The move, potentially starting in April, would reverse Biden-era protections and could lead to expedited deportations for Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to end temporary legal protections for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. due to Russia's invasion.
  • The revocation, expected as early as April, aligns with a broader effort to dismantle Biden-era humanitarian parole programs affecting over 1.8 million migrants.
  • This decision follows a public feud between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as the suspension of U.S. military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has not confirmed the plans, and neither the White House nor the Ukrainian embassy has issued a comment.
  • European nations are reportedly bracing for a potential influx of Ukrainian refugees as the U.S. stance on asylum shifts under Trump’s administration.
