  • Refugee communities and agencies are bracing to see whether Trump again curtails the U.S. resettlement program.

The article from MSN discusses the concerns and preparations of refugees and resettlement organizations in anticipation of a potential second term for Donald Trump. During his first term, Trump implemented stringent immigration policies, including the "Muslim ban" and significant reductions in refugee admissions. Advocates and refugees are now bracing for possibly even stricter measures if Trump returns to office, fearing policies that could further limit asylum access, increase deportations, and expand travel bans. Organizations like Church World Service and the International Rescue Committee are preparing by strategizing legal challenges, increasing advocacy efforts, and planning for potential policy changes. The article highlights the anxiety among refugees and the proactive steps being taken by resettlement groups to mitigate the impact of Trump's potential policies, emphasizing the uncertainty and the significant changes that could affect the lives of many seeking refuge in the U.S.
