White House Weighs In: No Ukraine Deportation on the Horizon
Caroline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, has just given the world a big sigh of relief. Canada corn‑cobs yielded in the United States, or so the rumor mill claimed: a sweeping plan to send 240,000 Ukrainian folks back home by revoking their legal status. The office’s formal response? “No decision has been made at this time.” So, for the moment, those 240,000 refugees are safe, and the rumor line can rest a while.
What’s the buzz?
- A Reuters story, based on anonymous sources, alleged that the Trump administration would deport nearly a quarter of a million Ukrainians this spring.
- Sources also hinted that the Internal‑Enforcement Department (ICE) was preparing to drop “categorical parole” for those migrants, leading to instant deportation processes.
- In January 2020, a family‑friendly executive order was signed, closing parology programs for the entire nation.
Leavitt’s Take
In a fairly terse but 100‑% inhaled statement, Caroline Leavitt cut that talk Cold Steel style:
“This is more fake news from Reuters, based on anonymous sources who have no idea what they’re talking about. The truth: no decision has been made at this time.”
Why the Wham‑Funk?
- Cold war? Nope—just the fear that every open‑handed refugee might be treated as a hostage.
- Dozens of Trump officials, static bankers, and passive sources said the plan might hit the ground sometime in April. But the White House’s decision leaks? None.
- ICE’s internal email spoke of a “deportation proceeding” that would follow after the parole status were revoked. That’s a chain reaction that the United States is not “starting” today.
What’s Next?
In essence, the rumor is, *sadly, seen as “fake” by the White House’s PA. The Ukrainian refugees are presumably still on the hook for the 240,000 possible legal protection. Expect mutual blending of sanity and official agency in the national debates. Check the White House website for updates—no user account just yet.
TL;DR (Not only a fun statement)
No grand deportation sweep—those 240,000 Ukrainians are still protected. Stay tuned for official updates, and remember: rumors often ride on misinformation’s snow truck.
