Following the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian citizens in the US are requesting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for compatriots fleeing the Russian invasion. This request was made during a meeting with Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who pledged to address the issue upon his return to Washington, DC.
Furthermore, Emilio Gonzalez, head of Citizenship and Immigration Services during the administration of President George Bush, and Leon Rodriguez, who led the agency during the presidency of Barack Obama, also asked the Joe Biden administration to grant immigration protections for Ukrainians.
