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 resolution is a statement of congressional support for promoting the safety and well-being of refugees and displaced persons globally and in the United States. The resolution highlights the current global refugee crisis, noting that over 123 million people are displaced worldwide—more than at any point in recorded history—and emphasizes major displacement crises in Syria, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others. The resolution expresses opposition to Executive Order 14163, issued January 20, 2025, which indefinitely suspended the United States Refugee Admissions Program, leaving over 100,000 conditionally approved refugees stranded. It also criticizes a June 2025 travel ban affecting 12 countries and restrictions on seven others. The resolution calls on President Trump to lift the refugee admissions suspension and urges the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and other agencies to restore asylum protections, increase refugee resettlement, and strengthen support for international refugee protection efforts—actions the sponsors argue are consistent with U.S. law, treaty obligations, and national security interests.
