They are now afraid of being deported to a war zone, naturally.

    This story really does not belong here in the “ukraine_war_news” community.

    The only connection to the war is that they’re originally from Ukraine (but have been in the US for six years) and that someone apparently made a petition supporting them which incorrectly suggests that they could possibly be deported to Ukraine during the war. (By my understanding of US law, they will not in fact be deported until after serving their sentence in the US if they are convicted.)

    Even though the news readers sound like they think this family is “evil” by putting it on the news like this they are helping prejudice a jury making an appeal to a guilty verdict more likely.
