Temporary Protected Status varies for Ukrainians fleeing to European countries, those in the U.S. By Sandra Sanchez
	Austin Kocher, a researcher with the nonprofit organization Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) of Syracuse University, said the international community is watching to see how Ukrainian refugees will be treated at the Southwest border, especially since so many asylum seekers of color, from Central and South America and Haiti have been expelled and deported under Title 42. Currently, there are 4,000 Ukrainian asylum-seekers in removal proceedings by DHS, according to TRAC reports. “So the benefit to those in removal proceedings is they won’t be deported to Ukraine although they could be deported to other countries,” Kocher said.
