The Trump administration issued a rare apology on Friday after Ukrainian refugees accidentally received emails informing them that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would be terminating their legal protections, CBS News reported.
"DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice," the email read, which was sent on April 3 to an unknown number of the 260,000 Ukrainian refugees who entered the U.S. under the Biden administration.
The DHS added that anyone who did not comply would "be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United Stated," CBS News reported. Recipients were also urged to self-deport through the CBP Home app.
