At the U.S. border with Mexico, American officials are allowing Ukrainians fleeing the Russian invasion of their homeland to enter the United States and stay without fear of deportation for a year, according to people crossing.
Several Ukrainians told Reuters they passed through a checkpoint in the northern Mexican city of Tijuana this week and were granted permission to remain in the country until 2023.
A former U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official briefed on the matter said that U.S. authorities were granting one-year temporary "humanitarian parole" to Ukrainians.
