Trump Administration Suspends U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program, Leaving Thousands in Limbo
In a policy shift, Trump has suspended the refugee program, halting flights and leaving thousands, including 1,600 Afghans, stranded and at risk.
Overview
President Trump's recent executive order suspends the U.S. refugee resettlement program, canceling travel for about 10,000 approved refugees. Advocacy groups express alarm as many refugees, particularly Afghans, face heightened risk. Despite the suspension, the administration asserts it is necessary for national security and resource management. The decision, expected to impact the futures of many families, contrasts sharply with the previous administration's efforts to welcome over 100,000 refugees in 2024. The situation remains fluid as federal reviews commence, and resettlement advocates call for urgent action.
