Stephen Starr , The Guardian; A Ukrainian family built a community in Cleveland. Now, they face deportation
"Tamila Vashchuk and her husband, Mykola, are minor celebrities in this corner of Ohio.
The Ukrainian couple have appeared on the cover of local magazines and been invited onto morning television shows. En route to building a successful pierogi food business, they’ve met with the governor. A recent law graduate from Cleveland State University, Mykola is hoping to do his bar exams someday. Most Sundays, they volunteer at the local church.
But now, the family faces an immigration court hearing they believe could see them deported back to Ukraine, where they would struggle to treat their son’s illness and where Russia’s ferocious assault has increased in recent weeks."
