This shameful policy has been devastating to thousands of refugee children and families. The ban was patently antithetical to our core values of religious freedom and a blatant contradiction of what it means to be American. We’re glad to see it go.

Admissions of Muslim refugees plummeted under the Trump administration, from nearly 40,000 in 2016 to a mere 2,500 in 2020. Tens of thousands of families remain separated and in harm’s way.

This policy slammed the door in their faces, further demonstrating the careless disregard this administration has had for the sacred principle of family unity – disproportionately, but purposefully, impacting black and brown people.

This feels like the light at the end of a very long, very toxic tunnel. Our staff, our volunteers, our faith partners, and our communities have never wavered in their dedication to the mission – and it’s thanks to them that we’re ready to rise to the occasion

We are filled with optimism that President Biden will be a steadfast partner in this vital work of welcome, and together, we can restore and revitalize the U.S. refugee admissions program.
