The vetting procedures announced yesterday will impose a new 90-day ban on the resettlement of refugees from a list of 11 mainly Muslim-majority countries, as well as stateless Palestinians who already undergo enhanced security screening measures. In many cases, these refugees are being made to suffer for the United States’ poor relations with their own governments—the same governments that many of these refugees are fleeing. These refugees, some of whom were already approved for travel, make up nearly 60 percent of cases in the current resettlement pipeline. In practical terms, absent an immediate and significant increase in capacity on the part of the Department of Homeland Security, this discriminatory ban will make it impossible for DHS to come close to resettling even the historically low annual number of 45,000 that the administration had previously set for this year.
