Washington (CNN) The Trump administration floated the possibility of admitting zero refugees next year during a recent meeting with officials from the Department of Homeland Security, State Department, the Pentagon and other agencies, according to sources familiar with the meeting.

A number of options are being discussed and the zero option already received pushback from some government officials, according to one source.

The crack down on refugees is in line with the administration's immigration agenda which has sought to limit entry to the US. Earlier this week, the administration also put in place a regulation that bars most Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the US.

Politico reported on the details of the meeting, which took place in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with around 20 officials last week.

According to Politico, two allies of White House adviser Stephen Miller, Citizenship and Immigration Services official John Zadrozny and the State Department's Andrew Veprek, argued in the meeting that the refugee cap should be low because of "ongoing security concerns and the ability of the US to offer humanitarian protections through the asylum process."
