Trump Plans to Cut Refugee Admissions to Record Low

President Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugees into the U.S. this year — as few as 7,500 — “a dramatic new low as the administration is conducting sweeping immigration raids as part of its mass deportation agenda,” the Associated Press reported.

The 7,500 figure is “a drastic decrease from the cap of 125,000 set by the Biden administration last year, according to a presidential determination dated Sept. 30 and signed by Mr. Trump,” the New York Times noted.

“The new limit would effectively shut the door to thousands of families waiting in camps around the world and refocus a program meant to provide sanctuary for those fleeing war and famine to support mostly white South Africans,” the Times reported.
