""The Trump administration has long expressed its intention to end Biden's abuse of the refugee program," a Trump administration official said in a statement."
""No refugees will be admitted in [fiscal year] 26 until the appropriate consultations with Congress are held, which are being delayed because certain members of Congress insisted on shutting down the government.""
The Trump administration set the U.S. refugee admissions ceiling at 7,500 for the current fiscal year, the lowest level since the refugee program began in 1980. The administration signaled a preference for admitting Afrikaners from South Africa and "other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands." The resettlement program has been largely paused this year except for a streamlined process that has brought several hundred white South African resettlers since March. Some resettlement organizations have raised concerns about constrained resources and admissions limits, and others have closed operations. The Federal Register notice cites prior Trump-era refugee policies and offers no further explanation.
