On Tuesday, a federal judge in Oakland, CA ruled that the Trump administration violated immigration laws and endangered immigrants when it issued a blanket denial of asylum to thousands of migrants from Central America who had not sought refuge in Mexico or another country before reaching the U.S. The rule, which took effect on Jan. 19, 2021 and was virtually identical to the administration’s earlier regulations, prohibited immigrants from applying for asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border unless they had unsuccessfully sought asylum in a nation they had passed through along the way. The CA judge who blocked an earlier version of the rule said that the new version ignored U.S. laws that were designed to prevent “arbitrary denials” of asylum for immigrants fleeing danger.

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.

In September 2019, President Trump issued an executive order requiring consent from states in order to continue refugee resettlement in those locations after June 2020. Under the order, local governments are able to deny consent to refugees as well. With the deadline for consent approaching, a court out of New York issued a preliminary injunction against the policy, blocking it from going into effect while litigation proceeds. The ruling on Wednesday said that the executive order is likely “unlawful” as it sidelines refugee resettlement agencies and contravenes the Refugee Act’s purpose and structure. Read more on how to become a refugee.

The White House released a document noting that President Trump is proposing a refugee ceiling of 18,000 for FY2020. Further, the president also issued an executive order instructing the federal government to settle refugees only in those jurisdictions in which both the state and local governments have consented to receive refugees under the DOS Reception and Placement Program. CNN reports that the proposed refugee ceiling would mark a “new historic low” and that the executive order could allow states and local jurisdictions to deny refugees entry.
