Trump Administration Plans Record-Low Refugee Admissions Cap

The Trump administration is planning to allow only 7,500 refugees into the U.S. next year, a much smaller number than before.

This is part of their plan to reduce immigration, which was in effect during his previous term.

They are also prioritizing refugees from South Africa, specifically the white Afrikaner minority group.

Some officials have expressed concern about this low number, fearing it could harm people and separate families.

This plan comes after Trump previously froze refugee admissions after returning to office in January 2025.

The administration also wants to change global rules about asylum.
