Trump also wants to deport 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the United States
U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 6th local time that he will soon decide whether to revoke the temporary legal status of about 240,000 Ukrainians who have fled to the United States. The move would mark a stunning reversal in U.S. policy toward Ukrainians, in contrast to the welcoming attitude during the Biden administration, and could put Ukrainians at risk of rapid deportation. It is reported that when asked whether he would revoke the temporary legal status of Ukrainians and deport them, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office of the White House: “We have no intention of hurting anyone, we certainly don’t want to hurt them, and I’m considering it.” “Some people think it’s appropriate, some don’t think so, and I’ll make a decision soon.” Trump said. The report mentioned that according to a senior Trump administration official and three people familiar with the matter, the plan to revoke the temporary protected status of Ukrainians is part of the Trump administration’s broader policy to deprive the legal status of about 1.8 million immigrants who entered the United States through the temporary “humanitarian parole” program during the Biden administration. Sources said the move to revoke the temporary legal status of Ukrainians could begin as early as April. They also revealed that the plan was launched before Trump’s public dispute with Ukrainian President Zelensky last week.
