Ukrainians in the U.S. received a mistaken email from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stating their parole status was revoked, causing widespread fear among refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. DHS clarified that the temporary parole for approximately 240,000 Ukrainians remains intact, despite indications from the White House that their status could be revoked under the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Lawmakers reported confusion from constituents, as Trump has suggested terminating legal protections for various immigrant groups, potentially affecting Ukrainians as well.
