flag A U.S.-born man, detained without citizenship proof, fights deportation to Ukraine where he doesn’t speak the language or have ties.

flag Roman Surovtsev, a U.S. resident since childhood as a refugee from the Soviet Union, was detained by ICE in August 2024 during a routine check-in, despite neither Ukraine nor Russia confirming his citizenship or providing travel documents for deportation. flag His legal team successfully vacated his teenage criminal conviction, arguing he wasn’t informed of immigration consequences, and is fighting to reinstate his green card. flag ICE continues efforts to deport him to Ukraine, where he does not speak the language and faces potential military conscription, while he remains held in a Texas detention center. flag His wife, Samantha Surovtsev, has mobilized legal support, calling the detention unconstitutional due to the lack of a realistic deportation path. flag The case highlights the human cost of immigration enforcement when removal is effectively impossible.
