Since January 2025, the Trump administration has successively stripped immigrants from many countries of their humanitarian protection status: Venezuela, Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria, and South Sudan. In recent weeks, however, immigrants from a few countries have been spared. About 100,000 Ukrainian immigrants were due to lose their temporary protection status on Monday and face deportation. However, the Ukrainian embassy in Washington and a Trump administration official who participated in internal policy discussions and requested anonymity said that the Department of Homeland Security is expected to extend the protection eligibility of this group of people. Embassy Spokesman Halina? Yusupiuk said: “According to the information we currently have, the temporary protected status of Ukrainians is expected to be extended for another 6 months after it expires in October.” Trump officials and congressional Republicans have been advocating the termination of most temporary protected identities. Since Trump came back to power, 13 of the 17 countries covered by the program have been disqualified from protection. However, immigrant rights advocates believe that on the eve of the November 3 midterm elections, the government's iconic tough policy is softening.
