The U.S. allowed just 4,900 Muslim refugees into the country in fiscal year 2019.
Under the Trump administration, the number of Muslim refugees admitted into the country under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has plummeted over the past two years, with numbers dropping to their lowest levels in nearly two decades in fiscal year 2018.
Over the past two years, however, Muslim refugee admissions have sunk back to around the same levels they were at in 2002, the year after the events of September 11. The new cap, which represents a significant decline from the already lowered 30,000 limit the Trump administration imposed in fiscal year 2019, is the lowest the U.S. has seen in the 40 years since it started its Refugee Admissions Program.
As Krogstad notes, the disparity in admissions between the two religious groups"marks a sharp reversal from several years ago."
