Ukrainian Residents in the US: Navigating Potential Policy Changes

In recent news, Trump has been shifting gears against immigration and its policies. As a result, these changes and its rulings, especially the ones towards Ukrainian residents, have created uncertainty and fear within the community.

The following will help navigate for anyone who is in need of an immigration attorney and or seeking legal consultation services for any immigration questions, problems, or matters that need help resolving.

Understanding The Current Situation

The United States Government and its people have provided, funded, and given aid to Ukrainians and the country of Ukraine. Altogether, there’s an oversight of federal funding for Ukraine, which is in the billions of dollars. However, these funds and protections, such as Ukrainian immigrants who are staying in the US, is expecting a potential shift in policy that may entail:

• Changing the Temporary Protected Status: TPS is a program that gives temporary relief from deportation and work authorization for individuals from other countries that are facing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions.
• Increased Deportation Efforts: Legislature recently passed a deportation law that is imposing more power and concerns for even legal immigrant themselves. This can lead to more stringent enforcement of immigration laws.
• Modifications to Humanitarian Parole: This allows people or individuals to enter the US temporarily for urgent humanitarian matters. With the recent shift in policy could restrict eligibility or shorten parole durations.
• Adjustment of Asylum and Refugees: Changes to the ways the US processes for asylum seekers, especially for Ukrainians. This could further burden for the ones that are currently remaining in the US.

These potential policies are changing and is looking more realistic as the time goes by. This is why securing and speaking with legal counsel is more important now than ever.
