An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Trump From Punishing Ukrainians Fleeing Putin’s War.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent reports about former President Donald Trump's plans to revoke temporary legal status for over 240,000 Ukrainians, many of whom fled the ongoing war with Russia. This potential move, if carried out, would place innocent individuals and families in extreme danger, not only from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine but also from the uncertainty of being forced out of the United States. What is even more appalling is the suggestion that these vulnerable people, who came to America seeking refuge, might face expedited deportation—some potentially being sent back to cities and regions that have been completely devastated by war. Families that have built lives here, like the Ukrainian family featured in the recent reports, would be torn apart and sent back to nothing. I cannot fathom what kind of person would even consider such a reckless and heartless action, especially when these people have already faced so much hardship. It is unfathomable to think that the United States, a nation founded on ideals of refuge and compassion, would ever turn its back on those in need. As a country that champions freedom and human rights, we must ensure that we continue to uphold these values, not by sending people back to war zones, but by providing them the stability and safety they desperately need. I implore you to take a firm stand against any attempts to revoke legal status for vulnerable Ukrainians and other migrants who have sought refuge in our country. The idea that anyone would use the United States as a tool for political vengeance against those who have already suffered at the hands of war is deeply troubling. We must show compassion, not cruelty. Please, act now to prevent this egregious action and stand for the safety, dignity, and humanity of those who have fled violence and persecution.
