Reports indicate that President Donald Trump is considering revoking the temporary legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled Russia’s invasion. These individuals were granted humanitarian parole under the Biden administration, but the potential policy shift could put them at risk of deportation. The White House has denied the reports, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling them 'fake.' If enacted, the decision could have significant humanitarian and political implications, particularly among Ukrainian-American communities. The move aligns with Trump's broader immigration policies, which emphasize stricter enforcement and reduced protections for migrants.
