FY 2021 Refugee Resettlement Roundup
By Nayla Rush
CIS Report, November 18, 2021
Excerpt: With the beginning of a new fiscal year (October 1, 2021), we take a look at the prior fiscal year’s refugee resettlement admissions. One difference, though, is that this year’s overview will not include the religion of refugees.
