President Biden issued an executive order to increase admissions and allow the U.S. to set a goal of providing refuge to 125,000 people around the world fleeing violence, conflict and persecution. The order called for an expansion of the refugee program, which was gutted to only allowing 15,000 refugees in 2020 under the Trump administration. Biden’s order also declared that his administration would prioritize the resettlement of women, children and others facing persecution because of their gender or sexual orientation. He also instructed an interagency examination of ways to help people displaced by climate change, including by resettling them in the U.S.
