Biden Admin Grants Protected Status to Ukrainian Immigrants, Halts Deportation Flights

HeadlineMar 04, 2022

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday it has suspended deportation flights to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion. Meanwhile, the Biden administration said it will allow Ukrainians living in the United States to apply for temporary protected status, TPS, which would shield them from deportation and grant them work permits. Arizona Democratic Congressmember Raúl Grijalva tweeted, “The Biden Admin should also designate TPS for non-white war-stricken countries like Ethiopia, Cameroon, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Mali and others.”
