Ukrainian Men Deported by ICE Sent to Military Draft
In November 2024, ICE deported 45 Ukrainian men, with 24 immediately conscripted by Ukrainian military draft officers upon return. This stems from Ukraine's mobilization laws requiring men aged 25-60 to serve, and the U.S. Trump administration's aggressive immigration crackdown targeting parolees under the suspended U4U program. Cases like Volodymyr Dudnyk, now fighting on the front lines, and others with health issues or families, reveal risks of forced military service and separation. Legal experts warn of humanitarian concerns, as parolees lack permanent status and face revocation. The situation underscores tensions between U.S. deportation policies and the ongoing war in Ukraine, leaving thousands in limbo.
