According to reports from various outlets, including Reuters, there were claims that 240,000 Ukrainian refugees could be at risk of deportation due to President Donald Trump potentially ending their temporary legal status. Reuters cited unnamed sources for this information. However, Leavitt quickly dismissed the report as another instance of &#8220;Media Derangement Syndrome,&#8221; asserting that no decision had been made regarding deportations at that time. In a post on X, she criticized Reuters for spreading false information based on unreliable sources. Following her statement, Reuters softened its stance in an updated report but continued discussing the potential rollback of protections for Ukrainians as if their initial claim was valid. Despite Trump&#8217;s comments indicating he did not intend to harm anyone and would make a decision soon, he also expressed frustration over how fake news misrepresented his statements during a congressional address<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2410765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karoline-Leavitt.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[34247,32435,33831,32171,51698],"class_list":["post-2410764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fake-news","tag-karoline-leavitt","tag-mainstream-media","tag-political-commentary","tag-trump-ukraine-decision"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Karoline-Leavitt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2410764"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2410768,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410764\/revisions\/2410768"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2410765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2410764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2410764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2410764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
