The Biden Administration recently committed to the admission of up to 125,000 refugees to the United States during Fiscal Year (FY) 2025.

“We commend the Biden administration for its steadfast efforts to rebuild the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, President and CEO of Global Refuge.

“Resettling 100,000 refugees, a figure surpassing the three previous fiscal years combined, represents a milestone achievement signaling renewed U.S. humanitarian leadership. Thanks to this administration’s commitment, these families have found safety, hope, and a sense of belonging in communities that are eager to embrace them as neighbors, friends, congregants, and co-workers,” she said.

“The IRC commends the Biden administration’s efforts to rebuild and revitalize the refugee admissions program of four years prior, through which the IRC has been a proud partner by resettling 29,611 refugees that arrived through the refugee pipeline since FY21, as well as an additional 12,228 Afghan allies arriving on Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs),” the International Rescue Committee said.
