Several months after taking office, @POTUS raised refugee admissions to 62.5k for the remainder of FY21.

According to @rcusa_dc's report, the U.S. only resettled 11,411 refugees—or 18% of its goal.

As we enter 2022, we must continue to support people seeking safety in the U.S.

“That photo really humanized the fear that families had and the suffering they were going through,” said CWS's Courtney Madsen. “It made it [the Syrian war] a conflict that people could feel, instead of just seeing images of destroyed buildings on TV.” https://t.co/6dSQT8kfsj

[CWS Jersey City @CWSJerseyCity]

We deeply appreciate the support we receive from Catholic women religious here in New Jersey - they are one of our key faith communities that is supporting our efforts to welcome Afghans and other displaced families.

"Everybody can do what they can do. Everybody can do a piece."

Across the U.S., Catholic sisters are working to assist displaced Afghans as they resettle and restart their lives. https://t.co/1mNKuoV4On @ChrisHerlinger via @sistersreport

[Refugee Council USA @RCUSA_DC]

There are at least 65,000 approved Afghans and their families who will be left behind if @POTUS follows the August 31st evacuation deadline. That doesn’t count another at least 1.1 million eligible people and their families. We must not leave a single person behind. #AfghanEvac

🇦🇫 Afghanistan fact for your Tuesday...

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

New Jersey stands ready to provide safe harbor, support, stability, and peace to Afghan refugees.

Today I sent a letter to @POTUS making it clear that we welcome these brave individuals and their families to the Garden State.
