Not sure what to say to this latest cruel, petty action by Trump:
Exclusive-Trump Plans to Revoke Legal Status of Ukrainians Who Fled to US, Sources Say
Yeah, but he won’t do anything about the Russians who are not here legally.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation. The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration. The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week. It is part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, the sources said.
Lying POS Karoline Leavitt pushed back with a “no decision has been made at this time.” Sure. Right.
Now, I was unaware of this, but the U.S. has a “parole program” for people who normally would not be admitted to the U.S. but are fleeing their countries on humanitarian reasons. I didn’t know it was called parole, to be honest. But I knew there was a temporary status programs for those immigrants facing a humanitarian crisis in their native country.
Turns out Trump already issued an EO to cancel the parole program, which has 1.8 million immigrants under that status. And he has stripped parole status for 540,000 immigrants, and it specifically targets Cubans, Haitains, and Venezuelans. From what I can tell, Afghans are also being stripped of their parole status.
I wonder how those Cubans in FL feel about their votes for Trump?
