Description:
The State Department said in a report quoted by the State Department that asylum seekers will resume admission to the United States this week after a temporary halt in late 2021.
The Biden government had stopped accepting asylum seekers since late 2021, but exceptional and special cases were acceptable.
According to the report, quoting the US State Department, readmission will resume this week, meaning that refugees from around the world who have been under US relocation will be allowed to enter the country, and after January 11, restrictions will be imposed. Flights will be canceled.
According to the US Department of Homeland Security, some 55,000 Afghans have been resettled across the United States, and about 20,500 have remained at US military bases since Jan 06.
As of November 30, more than 2,000 asylum seekers have been resettled in the United States for the new fiscal year, according to the latest figures from the State Department Refugee Center. The ceiling for the fiscal year 2022 in this country, which determines how many refugees can be resettled in the United States, is 125,000.
