They had been welcomed into the U.S. with open arms by the Biden administration.
00:05
Reuters now reports that some 240,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled the Russian invasion could
00:12
see their temporary legal status in the U.S. revoked.
00:16
The move would be part of a larger effort by President Donald Trump to crack down on
00:20
immigration.
00:21
On his first day back in the White House, the leader issued an executive order calling
00:25
for the Department of Homeland Security to terminate all categorical parole programs
00:30
which allowed 1.8 million migrants to enter the U.S. under Biden.
00:35
The White House's press secretary has denied the plans.
00:38
Reacting to Reuters' report on X, Caroline Lovett said no decision has been made at this
00:42
time.
00:43
But three sources familiar with the developments have told Reuters that the unprecedented move
00:49
would put some Ukrainians at risk of fast-track deportation.
00:53
They could be expected to leave as early as April.
00:56
If true, it would be the latest blow to Ukraine and its people after Washington moved to halt
01:01
all military aid for the war-torn country and pause intelligence sharing.
01:06
Plans to revoke the temporary protections were allegedly in place before Trump's disastrous
01:10
Oval Office meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
01:14
Ukrainians aren't the only ones at risk.
01:16
The move to end humanitarian parole programs puts over 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans
01:23
and Venezuelans who entered the U.S. legally at risk of deportation too.
01:28
70,000 Afghans who fled the Taliban could also be sent back home.
