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 FY21. the administration continued its break 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 15,000 refugees in FY21.
