Biden administration sharply expands protected status for Ukrainians already in U.S.
LA TimesA Ukrainian man speaks with a Customs and Border Patrol official while waiting with his family to cross from Tijuana into the U.S. on April 4, 2022. The Biden administration on Friday announced a major expansion of temporary legal status for Ukrainians already living in the United States, granting a reprieve for those who fled Russia’s invasion. The move is expected to make 166,700 Ukrainians eligible for temporary protected status, up from about 26,000 currently, the Homeland Security Department said. “Russia’s ongoing military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian crisis requires that the United States continue to offer safety and protection to Ukrainians who may not be able to return to their country,” said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Also Friday, Homeland Security expanded temporary protected status for Sudanese who were in the United States by Aug. 16, saying violent clashes in April have fueled instability.
