- Refugee admissions on track to hit record low
A new analysis indicates that refugee admissions to the United States are on pace to hit their lowest record level during the first 10 months of the fiscal year. This steep decline has been noted since President Donald Trump began his second term, and the administration has capped refugee admissions for fiscal 2026 at 17,500. Historically, the U.S. admitted significantly higher numbers of refugees in previous years.
