2025
Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions
for Fiscal Year 2026
Memorandum for the Secretary of State[,] the Secretary
of Homeland Security[, and] the Secretary of Health and
Human Services
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States, in
accordance with section 207 of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1157), and after appropriate
consultations with the Congress, I hereby make the
following determinations and authorize the following
actions:
The admissions of up to 7,500 refugees to the United
States during Fiscal Year 2026 is justified by
humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national
interest.
The admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated
among Afrikaners from South Africa pursuant to
Executive Order 14204, and other victims of illegal or
unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.
Refugee admissions under this determination, which may
reach but not exceed the numerical limit described
herein, are in all respects subject to the requirements
of other Presidential policies and actions, whether
issued prior or subsequent to this determination. Those
Presidential policies and actions include, but are not
limited to: Executive Order 14161, which mandates that
refugees receive the most stringent identification
verification of any class of alien seeking admission or
entry to the United States; Executive Order 14163,
which suspends the entry into the United States of
refugees other than when the Secretaries of State and
Homeland Security jointly determine that an admission
is in the national interest and does not threaten the
security or welfare of the United States; Executive
Order 14204, which provides for refugee resettlement of
Afrikaners from South Africa who are victims of unjust
racial discrimination; and Proclamation 10949, which
restricts the entry of certain foreign nationals whose
admission would be detrimental to the national
interest.

The Secretary of State is authorized and directed to
publish this determination in the Federal Register.
