                Presidential Determination No. 2026-24 of September 25, 
                2026

                
Presidential Determination on Refugee Admissions 
                for Fiscal Year 2027

                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 (the ``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 admission of up to 17,500 refugees to the United 
                States during Fiscal Year 2027 is justified by 
                humanitarian concerns or is otherwise in the national 
                interest.

                The admissions shall primarily be allocated among 
                Afrikaners from South Africa pursuant to Executive 
                Order 14204. 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 10998, which restricts 
                the entry of certain foreign nationals whose admission 
                would be detrimental to the national interest.

                In accordance with section l0l(a)(42)(B) of the Act (8 
                U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)(B)), and after appropriate 
                consultation with the Congress, I specify that, for 
                Fiscal Year 2027, those processed under Executive Order 
                14204 may, if otherwise qualified, be considered 
                refugees for the purpose of admission to the United 
                States within their countries of nationality or 
                habitual residence.

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