The Biden administration granted entry to Mykola Zhytnichenko in March of 2023, just months before Ukrainian officials would issue a warrant for his arrest for his alleged crimes.
The Biden administration intended the Uniting for Ukraine program to allow displaced individuals to gain a two-year humanitarian parolee status in the United States after the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022. U.S. officials claim that Zhytnichenko abused the program to evade prosecution in his home country.
“Through close collaboration with both domestic and international partners, ICE Homeland Security Investigations was able to bring a dangerous fugitive — charged with attempted murder, narcotics trafficking, and organized crime — to justice,” said Special Agent in Charge Erin Keegan in a press release. “Our actions send a clear message: The United States will not tolerate fugitives seeking to evade justice for their grave crimes abroad. HSI remains dedicated to serving as a critical partner in safeguarding both national and international security.”
