Kulyk legally entered the U.S. in late 2023 along with his wife, 38, and daughter, who’s now 5. The family was sponsored by U.S. citizens as part of the Uniting 4 Ukraine program, a humanitarian program set up in April 2022 to allow Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s war to live and work in the U.S. on “parole.”
Once the initial two-year parole period expires, entrants can file for re-parole to remain in the country longer. That’s exactly what Kulyk says he did. His wife and daughter’s applications were approved. But his remained pending.
He said he was putting groceries in his car on Jan. 1 when he was approached by three ICE agents.
“I explained to the ICE officers that the war was killing people, that my wife had a disability, that it was violence, terrorism which we had escaped from but one of them began to laugh,” Kulyk told The Daily Beast. “I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
“I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Not surprised at all.
I think some ICE goons should be deported to Russia, let’s see how they like being conscripted when they get there.
Every single story I read about US Americans moving to Russia because they think Russia is so much better is always a hilarious read. I particularly liked the black woman who thought there wasn’t racism in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit, that’s not just putting your face in the leopards mouth that’s crawling into it’s stomach as hard as you can.
Is it possible that some of them are hired Russian mercenaries?
Doubtful, Russia needs all their men for war.
They’re probably sending the people too stupid to be fed to the meat grinder
See the video of the guy that couldn’t figure out why the water bottles were frozen? No such thing.
it also doesn’t make sense.
“I want russia to win the war,that’s why I’m sending reinforcements to ukraine”
They’re not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.
I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.
Russiaboos think that no amount of bodies or western equipment is actually hurting Russia, only delaying the inevitable complete capitulation. He’s happy he gets to, in his eyes, send a Ukrainian to die pointlessly.
They want immigrants out more. You know take care of byour own house first.
I hate these fucking fascists.
Trumps goons are pro Russia? That surprises no one.
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy … thus explaining his pro Russia stance.
American conservatism has an ideological bromance with Russia.
- violent suppression of LGBT
- systemic racism
- patriarchal values, domestic violence
- subservience to (state controlled) church
- nationalist chauvinism
- wars of plunder
Seems more likely they’re business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT’s “modeling” agencies to move or entrap victims
They haven’t read foundations of geopolitics
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy
This is such a bizarre take, given that we have mountains of compromat released through the Epstein files, plus all his sex scandals dating back to the 1970s. None of them indicate that
a) He’s sexually attracted to men
or
b) Revealing any amount of his habitual pedophilia of women affects how he governs
Trump isn’t hard to control. Anyone and everyone with two shillings to rub together has been able to bribe him. But liberals need to believe he’s a closeted homosexual for some reason.
“habitual pedophilia of women” isn’t a thing that exists. Children aren’t women.
Did you miss the weird “blowing Bubba” comments in the files?
Because I didnt.
I think Bubba was a horse though so not the same as a man
It’s horrifying to say, but while Trump boasts he could shoot someone on the street and still be popular, it only takes one passing transwoman to pull that rug out from under him. You think he’s chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?
You think he’s chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?
I don’t think it matters in any meaningful way. You’re pointing to court gossip like it affects national policy.
Well I’m not, I’m not the person you were responding to.
But your absolute confidence that it hasn’t happened is somewhat undermined as I’d bet that being provided witg dozens if not hundreds of random, suffering women and raping them without a second thought increases the chances of having had sex with a transwoman, not decreases it.
But your absolute confidence that it hasn’t happened
Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Proof
You might try reading the rest of the paragraph?
Check this guy out. He draws the line with Trump being gay. I mean he could be a rapist, a pedophile, and guilty of countless crimes of moral turpitude but he better not be GAY
I am pretty sure his first wife admitted he was GAY. He even had a boyfriend when he was in boarding school, so GAY. Not that there is anything wrong with being GAY and the fact that Trump loves men.
I am pretty sure his first wife admitted he was GAY
I really do wonder where people get this stuff, or why they need to put “GAY” in all caps
I don’t understand why people can’t accept Trump is GAY.
I guess we’re are in the same boat together wondering about how GAY Trump is. Speaking of that, what happens on the boat stays on the boat. Maybe we can work out your GAY issues with Trump together?
people can’t accept Trump is GAY.
Cause there’s no evidence
Rump is right there in his name. Nothing GAYer than Rumps.
Checkmate.
Average American logic process
If america ever has a brief moment of intelligence. And asks itself if we are the bad guy. Ya. You are. And it’s not a new thing. You have been the bad guy a long time. Things like this is just a small symptom. The internal rot is now showing through the propaganda and flag you have been trying to cover it with.
Talking about America or any country as a single organism with just one train of thought is unproductive.
You can lay all that at the feet of the boomer generation and their parents, thank you. American exceptionalism was propagandized in our textbooks, by our media, and worst of all by the voting bloc that now demands we shut up and work harder to get to where they got to. Many of us in gen-x and older millennial’s were just as horrified at the atrocities of our earlier generations as many who faced down the receiving end of that exceptionalism outside the US. However, it wasn’t until the last 20-25 years that we even knew all the awful shit that happened at the hands of American imperialism.
We didn’t learn the same history in school. We didn’t have the ability to push back against the generational propaganda being fed to us from every side. Nor did we have the ability to vote to stop it at any point before the information age. So please don’t throw all American’s under the same umbrella as our government, past or present. Many of us were born into this mess and have been powerless to stop it our entire lives. We may never get a chance to make amends for our past, at this rate, but not for a lack of trying.
Or, if you prefer, we can lump all current citizens of any nation in with their government’s past. Probably wouldn’t seem fair to blame all Canadians for their treatment of native people and the indoctrination schools containing mass graves of Inuit children that seem to turn up regularly, aye?
Americans are bifurcated between “people who want to nuke Moscow” and “people who think Stepan Bandera didn’t go far enough”.
But just like with Vietnam, there’s vanishingly little compassion afforded anyone in the region. It’s all just “I hope more of the other team dies”
They think Rambo is a documentary
I mean, First Blood was loosely based on real-life World War II veteran Audie Murphy’s struggles with PTSD. And it was further informed by the deplorable treatment of protesters at the hands of local police and national guard - many of them returning veterans - during the Vietnam War. The original novel was intended to juxtapose this initial horrifying abuse of a homeless American veteran with the events happening half a world away by a US-sponsored dictatorship.
But reactionaries always forget the first film and fixate on the next four, because it lets Rambo embody the mythological special forces superhuman rather than the Vietcong revolutionary resisting imperial oppression.
Yup. American.
I know this is a serious story, but that headline had me wondering when the war got to Walmart.
I thought I was having a stroke.
Heck they only got the job because as one of putins referal getting them to the top of the list.
Important to remember that ICE is and has always been a bipartisan enterprise, and in fact, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.
All the violations of liberty and building of the surveillance state have been bipartisan.
The division is not liberal vs conservative, but rather capitalist vs worker.
This new brand of authoritarians are so far from capitalism anyway lol. We’ve got a kleptocracy like Russia. There is not capitalism here.
Capitalism is simply private ownership of the means of production. That’s literally the only defining attribute. Theoretically capitalism works best with complete market freedom, but since that inevitably leads to monopoly, the most successful capitalist nations have always had a strong regulatory state to prevent the ruling class from destroying the world in their greed-fueled feeding frenzies.
Yes, key characteristics include profit motive and competitive markets driving economic exchange. You and Milton Friedman bot acknowledge it needs strong regulatory guardrails and income redistribution to prevent the capitalists from taking over the government/world. Citizens united (2010). So back to my argument of ‘no capitalist, kleptocracy’. We barely have a functioning government to enforce ownership and they are stealing everything they can. It’s a kleptocracy. or as I like to call it 7 monopolies in a trench coat. trump just took 10% of Intel because he could. The capitalist is the government, the government is the capitalist, we no longer have competitive markets, people no longer work for profit they work to not starve. Capitalism is dead. Long live what ever this shit is.
Kleptocracy, as you call it, is literally just capitalism functioning as intended. Since the end of feudalism there has never been separation between capitalist and government, because they’ve always had control of the means of production, hence control over the economy, hence control over whoever the fuck they want. There have been some few times in history where workers were able to secure rights for themselves in exchange for not fully going revolution, but in between those times, capitalists have always tried to crawl back those rights and secure even more for themselves, and they do it legally, by owning the media and the politicians. This is basic political-economy theory stuff, not some Milton Friedman Neo-capitalist apologia bullshit. Literally none of his ideas have led to the betterment of societies, can’t we just abandon Chicago school of economics already?
Nothing had gotten better since when now? Like nothing at all in humanity has improved since what year?
Not really dude those workers are voting their rights away on behalf of the capitalist lmao
To fellow Ukrainians who haven’t realized this yet: migrants are not “they”, it’s our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make “illegals” out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let’s build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
More desperate women to spend those ICE paychecks on.
Walmart is involved in the Ukraine war now?
No, this is the Georgia (country) / Georgia (US State) thing all over again.
Every US Walmart has a Ukraine inside of it, this particular one just happened to also be at war.
How many stories like this do we need to get through to the people who say “just obey the law and you have nothing to worry about”?
“Were not against immigration, just illegal immigration”
I am not really supprised that fascist ICE agents are on the russian side of things. Just like their dear lord Trump.
no other explanation needed, ICE ARE NAZIS. you dont laugh at a war torn family/father unless a your pure unadulterated evil Nazi
