The Homeland Security Department said the extension is for certain Ukrainian nationals and their immediate family members who were let into the U.S. before the Uniting for Ukraine program started.
Ukrainians who came in under the Uniting for Ukraine program generally got two years of humanitarian "parole" in the U.S. whereas those who arrived before them generally got permission to stay only for one year.The U.S. government used a program called humanitarian parole to admit them into the country. That program is a way to allow people from other countries to enter the United States on an emergency basis due to an urgent humanitarian situation.
In recent years, humanitarian parole has been employed as a quick fix to deal with the fallout from the many world crises that have occurred as the U.S. refugee system that was dismantled by the previous administration was being built back up. Now numerous groups are seeing their permission to remain in the United States expiring in coming months, including tens of thousands of Afghans.
That has led to intense anxiety for thousands of people who fled war in their homeland and don't know whether they'll be kicked out of the U.S. when their humanitarian parole status expires. The uncertainty can also be difficult for the businesses that employ them and need to make sure their employees are properly authorized to remain in the country.
Ukraine and immigration have both been hot button topics among Republican politicians who aren't enthusiastic about continuing aid to the war and have accused the Biden administration of not doing enough to control migration at the southern border. But even in that toxic political environment, there's been little movement to force Ukrainians to return home, reflecting widespread acceptance that it's still too dangerous for them there.
