I study refugees, and here are the facts on the history and impact of refugee resettlement in the US

Refugees haven't been welcome in the United States since the first day of President Donald Trump's second term, when he signed an executive order suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 90 days. Despite a February 2025 federal court order to resume refugee resettlement, the administration has said that won't be happening any time soon because the country's refugee system has been so thoroughly dismantled.
