The US Department of Homeland Security mistakenly notified some Ukrainian refugees that their legal protections were being revoked, prompting an apology from the Trump administration. The notice stated a termination of their temporary legal status under the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) program. This miscommunication stirred confusion among the 240,000 Ukrainians benefiting from the program. However, DHS later clarified that the U4U program remains active, and no actions would be taken against the affected individuals, emphasizing that the error would not impact their legal status in the US.
"This week, some Ukrainians received emails telling them their protective legal status was being revoked, with DHS clarifying that this messaging was sent in error."
"The DHS is exercising its discretion to terminate your parole, warning recipients they could face law enforcement actions unless they leave the US immediately."
