Immigrants from Ukraine and Sudan can keep their temporary protected status in the United States for now, the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday morning. The extension arrived on the exact day protections had been set to expire for approximately 240,000 Ukrainians and 6,800 Sudanese nationals. The decision offers a brief respite amid broader immigration crackdowns by President Donald Trump's administration targeting other foreign nationals.
