The Trump administration plans to roll back protections for over 530,000 migrants from various nations, including Ukrainians, contradicting the welcoming policies established under President Biden. This rollback, highly anticipated in April, is part of an ongoing effort to strip legal status from migrants allowed into the U.S. under temporary humanitarian programs. White House officials have denied any finalized decisions, even as internal communications indicate potential for expedited deportations for those affected. This move reflects a significant policy shift impacting the humanitarian landscape for migrants in the U.S.
The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
Migrants stripped of their parole status could face fast-track deportation proceedings, according to an internal ICE email seen by Reuters.
The Biden programs were part of a broader effort to create temporary legal pathways to deter illegal immigration and provide humanitarian relief.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back on the Reuters report in a post on X, saying 'no decision has been made at this time.'
