More than 20,000 Ukrainian refugees who fled after Russia's invasion reached the United States's southern border in April, an indication of the extreme measures many have taken to escape.
Across the U.S.-Mexico border, a total of 32,288 noncitizens sought admission at the ports of entry in April but lacked documents to enter. Of that number, exactly 20,059 were from Ukraine, according to a report released Tuesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University in New York. Nearly all of the Ukrainians were allowed to enter the U.S. following the Department of Homeland Security's instruction that border officials make an exception for this specific population.
