Refugee admissions plummet under Trump, USA TODAY analysis finds
Alan Gomez , USA TODAY Published 3:01 p.m. ET May 4, 2017 | Updated 16 hours ago
 

The number of refugees arriving in the United States has dropped sharply this year because of President Trump's threats to bar their entry, even though his order for a total 120-day ban has been blocked twice by federal courts, a USA TODAY analysis of government figures shows.

The U.S. accepted 2,070 refugees in March, the lowest monthly total since 2013, according to State Department data. April ended with 3,316 refugees admitted, the second-lowest total since 2013.
