‘It is time for you to leave the United States’: Ukrainians receive erroneous email from Homeland Security Department
CNN ^ | Sat April 5, 2025 | Jessica Dean and Kaanita Iyer

Some Ukrainians living legally in the US under a Biden-era humanitarian parole program received a notice this week from the Department of Homeland Security telling them to leave the country — a message that prompted panic and later turned out to be erroneous.

“It is time for you to leave the United States,” the department wrote Thursday to some Ukrainians in a “notice of termination of parole,” which was obtained by CNN. It added that their parole will expire in seven days and issued a warning: “Do not attempt to remain in the United States — the federal government will find you.”

Just a day later, those who received the email were told it was sent “in error,” according to a follow-up communication obtained by CNN. The subsequent notice also said that “no action will be taken” as indicated in the previous message, adding, “the terms of your parole as originally issued remain unchanged at this time.”

The confusing messages come as the Trump administration has attempted to crack down on immigration, including deporting hundreds of migrants it alleges are gang members and detaining pro-Palestinian student activists and Israel critics who are in the US legally.

DHS confirmed in a statement to CNN that the message sent to some Ukrainians under the parole program was a mistake and that the “parole program has not been terminated.” There are also no plans to end the program, a spokesperson told CNN. DHS paused admissions under the program in January, shortly after Trump took office.

But the back-and-forth was enough to frighten a number of the Ukrainians and the Americans who are sponsoring them, according to a source familiar with the situation.

How many creepozoids have been inserted into the deep, dark corners of the Deep State? Sewing distrust and mayhem wherever they can.

“How many creepozoids have been inserted...”


I would hope that discovering who sent the message will be easy work for Musk’s computer nerds.

Maybe they should go home to fight for their land and later rebuild it when the war is over.

The Uniting for Ukraine program was established by former President Joe Biden in April 2022 to provide a pathway for Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members to come to the United States and stay temporarily in a 2-year period of humanitarian parole.

Don’t care. We’re not the world’s babysitter.

Once they are repatriated, they can gear up and go after the root of the problem.

Maybe they should be “Uniting for Ukraine” in Ukraine. How about that?

Honest mistake. The Ukes were expecting the message to come from the Reichsministerium des Innern in Berlin.

"Uniting for Ukraine:....

On that topic, last night I received a scam email, supposedly from the US Citizenship and Immigration Service wanting me to sign up to sponsor an immigrant under Uniting for Ukraine (or a Haitian, Venezuelan, Cuban or various other immigrant criminals.
