Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations

WASHINGTON, March 6 (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.

A lot of these people won’t have homes to go to because the places they lived are occupied by Russians or were destroyed by them.

The cruelty is the point.

Or directly to Russia, to be executed?

This evil, soulless bastard seems determined to move into the Hitler category of subhumans.

He's being an asshole to immigrant Americans, their families, their employers, their landlords, their creditors, etc.

And is he harming Ukraine or Zelenskyy? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe zelensky and Ukraine will benefit from people coming back.

All because he's mad at zelensky so he wants to be mean to anyone associated with Ukraine, even if only in the past, even if it harms us more than Zelenskyy.

I think that, here in Minnesota at least, there are a sizable number of them. Will Governor Walz allow this to happen without some resistance? Will the state police intervene? Will the state guard? Will we just sit back and enjoy a pasty while they get hauled away?
