Refugees who were approved to travel to the United States before the January 27 deadline suspending America's refugee resettlement program have had their travel plans canceled by the Trump administration. This has left thousands of refugees stranded at various locations around the globe.
The suspension was part of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, which left open the possibility for those who had already undergone the lengthy process to be approved as refugees and had flights booked before the deadline to still enter the U.S. However, an email reviewed by The Associated Press revealed that the U.S. agency overseeing refugee processing and arrival has stated that 'refugee arrival to the United States has been suspended until further notice.'
