There are no more resettlement agencies in the U.S. Here’s what we can do about it.

For decades, the United States has contracted with non-governmental agencies (NGOs) to resettle refugees.

On Wednesday, those contracts were terminated.

Prior to Wednesday, the U.S. would not resettle refugees. Now, the U.S. cannot resettle refugees.

The connective tissue between these NGOs and the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has been destroyed. The very contracts that make these NGOs “resettlement agencies” are now null and void.
