Bill Summary
Reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.
AI Summary
This resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons globally. It highlights the record-breaking number of displaced people worldwide in 2025, with over 123 million people forced from their homes, including 31 million refugees. The resolution criticizes the Trump administration's executive orders that suspended refugee admissions and implemented travel bans, which the document argues put vulnerable populations at risk. It calls for fully restoring asylum protections established by the Refugee Act of 1980, recognizing refugees' contributions to the U.S. economy and society, and urging the government to maintain international leadership in addressing displacement crises. The resolution specifically requests that government officials work to protect refugees from various forms of persecution, support host countries, provide humanitarian assistance, and implement refugee admission goals. It also emphasizes the importance of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the need to support refugees regardless of their origin, race, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, while recognizing June 20 as World Refugee Day and recommitting to protecting those seeking safety from conflict and persecution.
