U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
Current understanding

An Emergency Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions for FY 2026 has been issued and is operative, setting the current ceiling for the fiscal year. Implementation involves the Department of State (PRM), DHS/USCIS, and HHS/ORR, alongside resettlement agency partners.
