Ukrainian immigrant re-detained after 25 years on supervised release

Dec 2, 2025

Country of origin: Ukraine

A Ukrainian immigrant who has been on supervised release since 2001 was re-detained by ICE on December 2, 2025, during a routine check-in. He had been living in Santa Monica with his sister for 25 years without violations after Ukraine refused to accept him as a citizen. The court ordered his immediate release, finding no significant likelihood of removal in the reasonably foreseeable future.
