Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia. This move, expected as early as April, represents a significant shift from the protections offered during Biden's presidency and may result in expedited deportation proceedings. The White House has denied reports of the plans, although Trump officials indicate a broader effort to dismantle humanitarian parole programs for over 1.8 million migrants, including substantial groups from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, is afoot. The implications for Ukraine's relationship with the U.S. remain concerning amidst ongoing hostilities.
