UPDATE ON REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT

Pursuant to President Trump's executive order, Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program, refugee resettlement has been paused for at least 90 days for a review of the program. All scheduled travel for refugees was cancelled, and all refugee processing has stopped. This includes a number of cases that we had assured for resettlement for FY 2025, along with a few cases that had travel scheduled for February.

While this greatly affects our work, and negatively impact families here waiting to reunite with loved ones, our commitment to welcoming and supporting New Americans to Greater Grand Forks is unwavering.

Read Church World Service's statement on the executive order and their call to action.
