Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This House resolution expresses support for U.S. assistance to refugees and displaced persons both domestically and internationally. The resolution, introduced in June 2026, reaffirms the importance of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and calls attention to the global displacement crisis, which the resolution notes affects over 117 million people worldwide. The resolution specifically criticizes the Trump administration's January 2025 executive order indefinitely suspending all refugee admissions to the United States and its decision to set the fiscal year 2026 refugee admission cap at 7,500 people, with over 95 percent designated for Afrikaners from South Africa. The resolution notes that over 100,000 refugees have been conditionally approved but remain stranded, and calls on President Trump to lift the refugee admission suspension and on relevant cabinet officials to increase international support for refugees, strengthen protections for asylum seekers, and work to address root causes of displacement. As a resolution, this measure expresses the sense of Congress rather than enacting binding law.
