00:00U.S. President Donald Trump's administration plans to end temporary legal status for about
00:05240,000 Ukrainians who escaped the Russian invasion.
00:09This could lead to their deportation.
00:12The move, expected to happen as early as April, would mark a dramatic shift from the support
00:16Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.
00:20The plan to remove protections for Ukrainians started before Trump publicly berated Ukrainian
00:24President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.
00:27Sources say it is part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to take legal
00:31status away from over 1.8 million migrants who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.
00:37The White House and Ukrainian Embassy did not reply to requests for comment.
