President Joe Biden has signed the Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions for Fiscal Year 2025, setting the refugee admissions target at 125,000.
This is higher than the 100,000 refugees resettled in the country in Fiscal Year 2024, which is the largest annual number in three decades.
"The admission of up to 125,000 refugees to the United States during Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 is justified by humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national interest," Biden said in a Memorandum on the Presidential Determination.
The admissions numbers shall be allocated among refugees of special humanitarian concern to the United States in accordance with the following regional allocations: Africa 30,000-50,000, East Asia 10,000-20,000, Europe and Central Asia 2,000-3,000, Latin America/Caribbean 35,000-50,000, and Near East/South Asia 30,000-45,000.
