Press Release: Murphy and Blumenthal Introduce Legislation to Authorize Community Refugee Resettlement

None

Senators Murphy and Blumenthal introduced a bill to authorize community refugee resettlement following cuts during the Trump administration.

Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal have introduced the Community-Based Refugee Reception Act to authorize community refugee sponsorship and resettlement services, drawing inspiration from the Welcome Corps program initiated by the State Department in 2023. This legislation aims to enhance the existing resettlement framework by allowing volunteer groups to support incoming refugees.

The bill seeks to establish a formal program within the State Department to facilitate community sponsorship and co-sponsorship models while providing funding for these groups. It also advocates for the immediate resumption of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, which was halted during the Trump administration.

Murphy emphasized the importance of community-driven support for refugees, stating that these sponsorship programs contribute positively to local communities. The legislation has received support from various organizations, including Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services Connecticut (IRIS).
