Forcing 240,000 legal Ukrainian refugees to return to their country amid Putin’s brutal invasion is a shameful decision that flies in the face of America’s values.

Exclusive: Trump plans to revoke legal status of Ukrainians who fled to US, sources say

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.

President Trump’s decision to impose across-the-board tariffs on Canada and Mexico is the wrong one. This trade war will devastate American workers and families, including here in Colorado. My full statement⬇️

Bennet Sounds Alarm on President Trump’s 25 Percent Tariffs Against Canada and Mexico - U.S. Senator Michael Bennet

Washington D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, member of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Re...

Colorado farmers export over $2.2 billion of agricultural products annually. There’s no way around it – Trump’s tariffs will acutely affect Colorado farmers. To tell our farmers to “have fun” while their livelihoods are at stake is a gross insult.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govMar 5(source)

Canada is our largest trading partner. Mexico is our third-largest. Starting a trade war with our closest allies and partners will raise costs for Colorado families already struggling to make ends meet.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govMar 5(source)

Trump's plan to cut taxes for his wealthy friends is an insult to the American people. It's time to get serious about tackling our deficit and creating an economy that works for everyone.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govMar 5(source)

An unelected billionaire should not have access to Americans’ personal data. Elon Musk & DOGE are threatening our national security with their recklessness.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govMar 5(source)

Our immigration system is broken, and the American people deserve real reform that treats people with dignity - instead of cruel measures that force families to live in fear.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govMar 4(source)

In the hours since President Trump’s tariffs on two of our largest trading partners took effect, the stock market has plummeted. Tariffs are taxes; American workers and families will pay at the pump and grocery store.

Denver’s Ed Dwight, America's first Black astronaut candidate, is one of our country’s living legends. I introduced a bipartisan bill to advocate for Ed to receive a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor bestowed by Congress.

One wonders how the Cold War would’ve turned out if Eisenhower, Reagan, and Bush were more concerned about people kissing their ring than our strategic position. My full statement on President Trump’s meeting with President Zelensky⬇️

Colorado’s public lands do more than fuel our economy – they are a cornerstone of our way of life. Senator Hickenlooper, Representative Neguse, and I reintroduced our CORE Act to boost our economy and protect hundreds of thousands of acres of Colorado public lands for future generations.

The U.S. is producing more energy now than at any point in our history – but Trump’s sham energy emergency will decrease domestic energy supplies, forcing us to be more reliant on foreign energy sources and sticking working families with the bill.

I was glad to welcome French President Emmanuel Macron to the Senate this week. The U.S.-France alliance has long been one of shared democratic values. We must continue working with France and our global allies to support Ukraine’s brave fight against Putin's aggression.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 24(source)

Generations of Americans who fought side-by-side with our European allies to establish the post-World War II international order would be shocked to see the U.S. casting its lot with autocracies like Russia, Belarus, and North Korea. The U.S. must always stand for democracy, not with dictators.

U.S. votes against UN resolution condemning Russia for Ukraine invasion

The Trump administration has found itself increasingly isolated on the world stage.

Michael Bennet@bennet.senate.govFeb 24(source)

For 3 years, the Ukrainian people have fought against Putin’s aggression, reminding us what it looks like to fight and die for democracy. Our support for Ukraine must remain steadfast, for the sake of the Ukrainian people, U.S. national security, and democracy around the world.

Democratic, Republican lawmakers propose resolution backing Ukraine

A group of Democratic and Republican U.S. senators will offer a resolution backing Ukraine on Monday, amid fears that President Donald Trump could make a deal with Moscow that leaves Kyiv on the sidelines three years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion.
