Arrivals March 1 – 6: 401

Presidential Determinations are most often broken down by region and country, and seek to ensure that those goals are set with global need in mind. For FY20. the administration has broken with tradition, and instead of setting regional goals, has created several new categories:

• Persecuted religious minorities
• Iraqi P-2s
• Northern Triangle (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador)
• All others

Through this tracker, we will hold the administration accountable to admitting 18,000 refugees in FY20.
