Refugee Congress celebrates the court ruling blocking the Trump administration’s refugee ban executive order. 

On Tuesday, federal judge Jamal Whitehead ruled that the executive order that indefinitely suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and withheld critical funding for refugee resettlement services was unlawful.

On September 30th, President Biden signed the Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions for Fiscal Year 2025, setting a goal of admitting up to 125,000 refugees to the United States over the next year.
