Refugee admissions to the United States will restart this week, a State Department spokesperson told CNN, following a temporary freeze put in place late last year to focus on the resettlement of Afghan evacuees.
The Biden administration had paused admissions of refugees, unless they met certain exceptions, as officials and refugee resettlement agencies raced to accommodate tens of thousands of Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan.
This week, admissions will kick back into gear, meaning that refugees from around the world who have undergone all processing and checks will be allowed to come to the US.
