BREAKING: The Biden administration has suspended deportations to Ukraine, Russia and seven other European countries.
In a statement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed a suspension of deportation flights to Ukraine.
ICE did not respond to requests to confirm the other deportation pauses. It's unclear how long ICE will halt deportations to the nine countries. An estimated 30,000 Ukrainian-born immigrants in the U.S. could qualify for TPS, including students and others on temporary visas, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
