Trump Suspends Refugee Resettlement for 90 Days

News summary

President Trump has suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for at least 90 days through an executive order, which he claims is necessary for aligning refugee entry with national interests. The order highlights concerns regarding resource allocation and public safety, asserting that the U.S. is unable to absorb large numbers of refugees without compromising these factors. However, critics, including immigrant advocates and faith-based organizations, argue that refugees undergo rigorous vetting processes and that the suspension is detrimental, especially given the global refugee crisis. Organizations like World Relief expressed heartbreak over the decision, emphasizing the need for robust avenues for asylum seekers. The order requires regular reports from cabinet members to re-evaluate the program's status, but the overall sentiment among advocates is one of deep concern for persecuted individuals. The historical context shows a drastic reduction in refugee admissions during Trump's presidency, which has significantly affected resettlement organizations.
