The United States is considering an increase in its annual refugee admissions quota, which currently stands at a historic low of 7,500 individuals. This reduction was implemented by former President Donald Trump, who cut the quota from 125,000 for fiscal year 2026. Most recently admitted refugees have been white farmers from South Africa, who claim they face discrimination and threats to their safety, a claim that the South African government has denied. Andrew Veprek, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, indicated that discussions about potential changes to the quota are ongoing, although he did not confirm whether it would be expanded to include other nationalities or ethnic groups. Veprek emphasized that the responsibility for refugee resettlement has shifted to the Department of Health and Human Services. Current immigration policies, including restrictions on legal entry, remain in place, and the US Supreme Court is set to rule on various immigration-related matters.
