Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as U.S. steps up deportations | 6 March 2025 | President Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast track to deportation. The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under Joe Biden's regime. The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week. [Excellent news! They can stop complaining about Trump's peace plans and go to the front lines to fight the Russians at the behest of Israel and BlackRock after they return to Ukraine.]
