Trump evaluates revocation of legal status of 240,000 Ukrainians in the USA

The reversal of protections to Ukrainians would be part of a broader trump government to remove legal status of more than 1.8 million migrants authorized to enter the US under temporary humanitarian parking programs, launched in the Biden government, Trump government authority told Reuters and three sources near the subject.

Measures to revoke the status of Ukrainians could leave in April, the four sources said. They said the plans for this revocation are prior to the public discussion between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied Reuters’ report on a post on social network X, saying “no decision has been made so far.”

The US Department of Internal Security Department (DHS) of the USA, Tricia McLaughlin, said on Wednesday that the agency had no news to communicate. Ukrainian government agencies did not respond to requests to comment on the subject.

A Trump decree issued on January 20 requested that DHS “ended all categorical conditional freedom programs.”
