Donald Trump planning to 'deport' 240,000 Ukrainians in fresh Zelensky betrayal

Source: GB News

US President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to revoke the legal status of more than 240,000 Ukrainians who fled from the war with Russia, sources have claimed. This dramatic policy shift could put these refugees on a fast-track to deportation, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said.

The move, expected as soon as April, would mark a stark reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.

The planned rollback for Ukrainians is part of a wider Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants. US Department of Homeland Security spokesman Tricia McLaughlin said the department had no announcements at this time.

The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was already underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office last week.

Just because we Americans have been inured to corrupt treatment over alternating administrations, doesn't mean the world has. Only by living here can immigrants know what we've known.

There, the word skeptical more often applies to intellectually rigorous areas of research that's structured (like Truth) to self-correct.

Here, 'skeptical' is just another word for distrust, which is also a cover for fear.
If you think being insufficiently skeptical is the result of early indoctrination, then see if you can apply that to 53+% of Democrats who claim these so-called 'religious myths,' including Biden, Harris, Walz, Rachel Maddow, and leaders before the House Oversight Committee yesterday. "And(?) poor education in logic and critical thinking skills." doesn't attach to religion, either.

While half of Catholics in my parish church are republican and half of those are appalled at what their vote has caused, the parish school's students on the Robotics team are ranked #1 in last year's state competitions.

67. No, it is easily evident what an awful human Trump is
Thu Mar 6, 2025, 01:47 PM
Mar 2025

His mannerisms, his constant use of wrong color makeup and floppy suits, his comb over to hide his bald head, his smell, his ignorance, his ego, his ethical failures, his convictions, his casual treatment of classified materials, his numerous wives and spoiled children. His clear record of pedophilia with Epstein. The list goes on and on. To miss all that is to have developed an ability to believe what is said and Not what is actually going on.

Trump even gave them a sample of how awful he would be during COVID. If I met Trump on the street, I would know immediately what an awful human he is just based on past experience of people. It's been studied that most people can accurately judge others within minutes. Just because you're from a foreign country, you do not lose that ability to judge stability and rationality in a person's behavior.

Yeah, a lot of people buy into imaginary gods and the myths surrounding them. Even Democratic leaders are unable to shake off the indoctrination of their youth. But if religion weren't forced on children and reinforced with punishment....the Nuns slapped my hands with rulers regularly, religion would be in the dust bin of history.

Religion in all it's imaginary forms leads to irrational thinking. It requires irrational thinking. It requires ignoring the reality in front of you for an imaginary death life.

As children you are indoctrinated to believe what people say but not what you see around you. There is absolutely no evidence of any gods. With all the hundreds of thousands of religions not one of them has ever proven a god, none, nada, zilch.

And your perversion of the word skeptical is amazing. People who are skeptical are less likely to be afraid cause they know there is no god or demon to punish them. Something most psychopaths like Trump know. The eternal punishment of hell you're taught is one huge threat which leads to nothing but fear.

The religious in the US are more likely to vote for pedo Trump than nonreligious and you have to wonder why.

71. So they should not have wanted to come to the U.S., even with American sponsors?
Thu Mar 6, 2025, 02:32 PM
Mar 2025

Educated children are encouraged to ask questions, answer with more questions, even challenge others with questions that they might/might not have answers to. Children raised in many religious education systems (and in many public schools, too, based on my 35 years teaching high school) are taught that some answers are unknowable through only human understanding, and so they are shown both science, tech, the humanities' explorations of hard questions, and also their own hearts' hope, and their hearts' faith, and their hearts' love, the last of the three being most important for humans. They're encouraged to love reading, writing, and lifelong learning.

As for your knowing trump when you see him, your certainty cannot be a standard for the world when attacked, traumatized women and children flee tens of thousands of miles across continents to get to wherever they are offered refuge, which happened to be here under the myth-believer, Biden.

As for being right about religion, I've been where you are, as so many have -- skeptical as anyone in the best sense, and as we were raised to be -- well educated, well traveled, I a Four Horseman atheist for 15 years -- and still understood the revealing over thousands of years of what is visible and invisible, what is the ultimate morality. If you were as skeptical as you believe you are, you'd drop the broad brush stereotypes and look into what has made former human belief systems "myths," and what keeps others "reality based."
You be you.

Pedo Trump wanted to do it the last time ignorant Americans put him into office. His plan was to invite Putin and build a reviewing stand on the DC mall and streets of DC.

Then He and Putin can stand there with puffed out chests and sneers while being saluted by America's vast display of weaponry. He wanted fly by's from the Airforce, marching sailors, tanks and heavy equipment marching down public streets in DC and on the mall.

He might even add some KKK and Nazi marchers to the parade. It's going to happen. Be prepared.

It doesn't make sense that Putin would want more Ukrainians returned to their home country. It just means more people would oppose his invasion. Plus the logistics of feeding and housing these refugees, reuniting them with their families etc. What is Putin going to do - put them in concentration camps?

I am convincing myself that that vast majority in the administration are anti-Ukrainian bigots. They are picking on women and children here. Geez, why not help Putin bomb another Ukrainian children's hospital?

I'm happy France is stepping up to fill the intellengence gap for Ukraine. France today said they have the capabilities. I am also with Bill Browder and Malcolm Nance, as well as growing chorus of leaders around the world calling for the immediate seizure of the Russian funds frozen in European banks, for the use of funding Ukraine. It is time.

Are they on temporary asylum status or have they been granted visas of any kind? This should be relatively easy for the courts depending on how they were initially admitted for entry, although POTUS does actually have the ultimate say.

that can last up to two years. They must have a sponsor to get that. Here, the churches are sponsors for many.
