The US has only accepted seven Ukrainian refugees since the war began, despite President Joe Biden saying he would welcome those fleeing Russia 's aggression 'with open arms'.

At least five Ukrainian refugees fleeing to the U.S. have been detained in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centers, with one person moved to a detention center in Louisiana, according to Newsweek.

State Department data obtained by Reuters reveals the low number of accepted refugees in the U.S. while other western countries have taken in thousands – and even millions of such asylum-seekers.


One reason Ukrainian refugees are being turned away at the U.S. southern border is due to ongoing enforcement of the coronavirus-era Title 42, which allows migrants to be instantly expelled due to the ongoing health emergency.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Thursday afternoon that Border Patrol agents were reminded there are individualized exceptions to Title 42 that can be applied to Ukrainians arriving at the southern border.

Revelations of America's low acceptance of Ukrainian refugees come as estimates reveal the U.S. could be just hours away from another wave of mass migration if Title 42 is lifted.

An Axios report Thursday shows 170,000 migrants are waiting on the Mexican-side of the southern border to cross and claim asylum should the policy come to end. Many of these individuals are as little as hours away from the border – while others planning to migrate are within a few-days trip, an official familiar with discussions told CNN.

With more than 3 million refugees dispersed among Europe from Ukraine, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said 'the numbers are staggering.'

'This is the largest refugee crisis in Europe since World War II,' Blinken said.

He told reporters that he spoke with G7 counterparts Thursday and that they discussed a coordinated approach to help refugees fleeing Ukraine.

Biden gave Ukrainians fleeing the war hope that they would be able to come to the US, saying on March 12: 'We're going to welcome Ukrainian refugees with open arms if, in fact, they come all the way here.'

Questions are emerging over whether the U.S. will actually take in these Ukrainian refugees, many of whom are fleeing Ukraine to be with family in the U.S., just to be turned away at the border.
