Ukrainians are being mass deported from the USA: what is the issue.


The diplomatic representation of Ukraine in the USA reported that no Ukrainian has been expelled from the country during 2025. It emphasized that there have been no cases of deportation of Ukrainians.
As of the end of May, 24 citizens of Ukraine, who had been issued expulsion orders, remained in temporary detention centers due to the lack of flights home. This complicates their return to their homeland.
'The embassy maintains constant working communication with the State Department and ICE in the context of monitoring the deportation process of Ukrainian citizens who have violated U.S. immigration law.'
Ukrainian diplomats actively communicate with Ukrainians in temporary detention centers in the USA and their families, monitor the conditions of their detention, and provide support in resolving possible issues. They also assist in processing necessary documents for those who are subject to deportation but do not have their passports with them for their return home.
In 2025, Ukrainians were not expelled from the USA; however, some of them remain in temporary detention centers due to the lack of flights to their homeland. Diplomats are in constant contact with migrants and provide them with the necessary support in this difficult situation.
