Trump Considers Revoking Temporary Protected Status for 240,000 Ukrainian Refugees

HeadlineMar 07, 2025

Some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war and are living in the U.S. under temporary protected status are bracing themselves after Trump said he’s considering revoking those protections. Groups like the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America say they are making sure their community is prepared.

Andrij Dobriansky: “Many of these people do not have homes to return to. We’re talking about people whose entire towns have been leveled altogether. Where would we be sending them back to? Nothing. … We’re preparing our community by making sure that leaflets for 'Know Your Immigrant Rights' are translated into proper languages. For them, that could be Ukrainian. That also could be Russian language, Crimean Tatar and other languages.”
