The White House has denied a report published by Reuters on Thursday, declaring it is completely fake news. Reuters touted their article as “exclusive.”
Reuters reported: President 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 Zelensky 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 US under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, the sources said.
White Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the Reuters report, declaring, “This is more fake news from Reuters based on anonymous sources who have no idea what they are talking about.”
“The truth: no decision has been made at this time.”
