The House Resolution, introduced by a group of representatives, urges the federal government to reinstate the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), which was indefinitely suspended by President Trump on January 20, 2025. The resolution highlights the importance of the USRAP in providing refuge to individuals facing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, social group membership, or political opinion. It emphasizes that refugees undergo extensive screening and vetting processes before being admitted to the U.S. and that they receive transitional assistance to help them integrate into American society.

The resolution also addresses the legal challenges to the suspension of the USRAP, noting that a federal district court had temporarily blocked the suspension, although the appeal process has limited the scope of this injunction. The representatives argue that the concerns regarding public safety and assimilation are overstated, citing a report that states refugees are the most thoroughly vetted group entering the U.S. They assert that the U.S. has a long-standing commitment to protecting vulnerable populations and call for the reinstatement of the program, with copies of the resolution to be sent to key federal officials, including the President and the Secretaries of Homeland Security and State.
