The Joe Biden administration on Friday announced it would be raising the cap of refugees permitted into the U.S. this year after sharp Democratic criticism over an initial, lower number first announced.
Democrats in Congress on Friday had slammed Biden for his decision to maintain a 15,000 cap on refugees this year, a number in line with those of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
But just hours after that decision was announced, following widespread Democratic criticism of the move, the White House announced it would be raising the cap to an undefined number.
Biden is expected to “set a final, increased refugee cap for the remainder of this fiscal year by May 15,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
