The U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent an email to a large number of Ukrainians in the country, stating that their legal statuses had been revoked and that they had 7 days to leave the country. Following this development, the department clarified that the email was sent 'in error' and that the humanitarian program established for Ukrainians had not been terminated.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that a large number of Ukrainians in the country received an email stating that their legal statuses had been canceled and that they had 7 days to leave the country, which was sent "in error."

A large number of Ukrainians under a humanitarian program in the U.S. received an email this week warning them that their statuses had been canceled and that they had 7 days to leave the country, otherwise they would be apprehended.

"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAY IN THE U.S."

The email, which was revealed to have been sent on Thursday, included the statement, "If you do not leave the U.S. immediately, you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that could lead to your deportation. DHS is terminating your program. Do not attempt to stay in the U.S."

"SENT IN ERROR"

In a statement made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it was expressed that the email was sent "in error" and that the humanitarian program established for Ukrainians after the Russian invasion that began in 2022 has not been terminated.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Last month, it was suggested that the Donald Trump administration planned to cancel the legal status of approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who had fled to the U.S. from Russian attacks, and that these individuals could be rapidly deported. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt denied the reports.
