Breaking: A New Rule Could Put Refugee Families at Risk

Demand Congress Act to Protect TPS for Ukrainians

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine expires very soon! If Congress and the administration don’t act, tens of thousands of Ukrainians living safely in the U.S. will lose their legal status and work authorization overnight.

More than 250,000 Ukrainians arrived after Russia’s 2022 invasion, and over 100,000 currently rely on TPS. Meanwhile, Kyiv and other cities continue to face some of the most intense missile and drone attacks of the entire war. Returning people to an active war zone is not an option.

Without an extension, families will lose protection. Without a redesignation, thousands who should qualify will be left in limbo.

A bipartisan Senate bill (S.5490)—led by Sens. Blumenthal, Murkowski, C***s, and Cassidy—would redesignate TPS for Ukraine and require timely processing of applications. A House companion bill is on the way. Congress needs to hear from constituents now!

TPS for Ukraine is a lifeline. We cannot allow it to lapse.
Thank you for taking action,

Tell Congress: Under FY27 Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions, Fight for Refugees Most At Risk.

Refugee Council USA reminds us that right now is a critical time to urge all Members of Congress to pressure the administration to return the United States to re-open refugee admissions on a non-discriminatory basis and fully resume refugee processing and admissions for the most at risk.

Following last week’s Congressional consultations with senior Trump administration officials, the Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions (PD) for Fiscal Year 2027, signed September 25, was released October 1 and published October 2. The document lays out a plan to admit “up to 17,500.....

Over 540,000 people have been deported since the start of the second Trump administration. These actions have had devastating impacts not just on those detained or forced to leave the United States, but on the children left behind. The Human Rights Watch shares some of these families' stories.

Teresa M., a 30-year-old Guatemalan woman, had just left home for her job manufacturing cabinets when she was stopped by Alabama police in June and asked about her immigration status. A colleague was driving, and Teresa, who had been in the United States for seven years at the time, said she doesn.....
