**Trump Administration to Revoke Status of 240,000 Ukrainian Refugees**
The Trump administration is planning to revoke the temporary legal status of around 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s invasion and have been living in the US. This move could lead to their deportation.
According to Reuters, the plan was made before President Donald Trump‘s public feud with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. The revocation is part of a broader effort to end the humanitarian parole of over 1.8 million people who are currently staying in the US.
