Summary

The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.

The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.

Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.

    I’m a Latino and I’ve always seen ice as the Gestapo of your country, I’m glad everyone else is seeing it. Ice has been a hellhole where the most evil and destructive humans end up working from its beginning.

      They are a scapegoat in my opinion for presidents and congress. Congress can’t or won’t pass sensible immigration reform laws, so instead they just throw money into ICE knowing it’s always been a boondogle, but pretend like they are somehow addressing the issue.

      Obviously ICE attracts some terrible people, but it would barely need to even exist if our politicians were willing to pass policy changes.
