(Hill) Democratic presidential contenders and others spoke out against reports during the weekend that the Trump administration will seek to cut refugee admissions to zero next year.
While administration officials have not yet developed a formal recommendation, the administration previously set the refugee cap at 30,000, a significant decrease from the one established under President Obama.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a 2020 Democratic presidential contender, called the proposal “immoral” in a tweet Friday.
“Our laws and values compel us to help those fleeing violence and oppression. As president, I’ll welcome at least 175,000 refugees per year by the end of my first term,” Warren added.
