The administration of US President Donald Trump plans to revoke the temporary legal status of about 240,000 Ukrainians who found refuge in the US fleeing from war. This could potentially lead to their deportation, Reuters reports.
According to the media resource, this move could be made by the US as early as April. However, the rollback of protection for Ukrainians began before President Donald Trump had an argument with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week.
Sources say this is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to strip the legal status from over 1.8 million migrants who were allowed to enter the US under temporary humanitarian programs initiated during Biden’s presidency.
