BREAKING: Trump Administration Violates Moral and Legal Obligations, Delays Setting Refugee Admissions Goal, Halting Historic Resettlement Program: https://cwsglobal.org/press-releases/trump-administration-violates-moral-and-legal-obligations-delays-setting-refugee-admissions-goal-halting-historic-resettlement-program/

. @realDonaldTrump's failure to comply with the Refugee Act and their subsequent delays and cuts to the refugee program are moral failures and a disgrace to the American legacy of welcome. Congress must not overlook this blatant disregard for human life and our legal process.

The proposed refugee resettlement number of 15,000, a more than 80% cut over historic norms, is unacceptable. Our values as a nation and as people of faith demand that we take action when people’s lives are in danger.

Congress must require the administration to urgently hold consultations in good faith, substantially increase the proposed refugee admissions goal to be in line with historic norms, and sign an official Presidential Determination as soon as possible.

Every day it remains unsigned means more of the world’s most vulnerable will remain in harm’s way and separated from their families—all as the world faces an historic high number of displaced people. #RefugeesWelcome
