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, through Executive Order No. 14,163. This program is designed to admit refugees who face persecution based on various factors such as race, religion, or political opinion, and it includes a thorough vetting process. The resolution highlights the importance of the USRAP in providing transitional assistance to refugees, allowing them to establish new lives in the U.S., and emphasizes that refugees are among the most thoroughly screened groups entering the country.

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. It argues that concerns regarding public safety and assimilation are overstated, citing a report that indicates refugees contribute positively to their communities. The resolution calls for the reinstatement of the USRAP, reaffirming the United States' commitment to protecting vulnerable populations and requesting that copies of the resolution be sent to key federal officials, including the President and the Secretaries of Homeland Security and State.
