Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution reaffirms the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons both domestically and internationally. The resolution, introduced by Senator Shaheen and 27 cosponsors, documents the global refugee crisis, noting that as of the end of 2025, there were more than 117 million displaced people worldwide, including over 41 million refugees, with major displacement crises in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Syria, and other regions. The resolution specifically criticizes the Trump administration's suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the record-low refugee admissions cap of 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, and the detention of approved refugees, calling these actions inconsistent with U.S. law and international obligations. The resolution calls on the President to lift the refugee admissions suspension and directs the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services, along with the U.N. Ambassador, to restore asylum protections, increase support for refugee host countries, and meet robust refugee admissions goals. As a congressional resolution, this legislation expresses the Senate's position rather than creating new laws or allocating funding.
