Pew Research Center: Refugee admissions to the U.S. are dropping sharply in Trump’s second term
The Pew Research Center reports that refugee admissions to the U.S. have dropped sharply during Trump’s second term. The Center concludes the number of refugees admitted to the United States has fallen significantly during President Donald Trump’s second term in office and could hit its lowest level on record this fiscal year.
The U.S. government has admitted 10,258 refugees through the first 10 months of fiscal year 2026, which ends on Sept. 30. That’s down from 38,102 refugees in fiscal 2025 and 100,034 in fiscal 2024. President Joe Biden was in office for part of fiscal 2025 and all of fiscal 2024.
