Writer's picture: Saw Kyaw OoSaw Kyaw Oo

Chin refugees in Malaysia who were due to be resettled to the U.S. after their refugee applications had been approved had their flights and visas cancelled by President Donald Trump.


After his inauguration on Jan. 20, President Trump signed an executive order suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) starting on Jan. 27. This means that Chin refugees who had been granted asylum in the U.S. and were due to depart Malaysia for the U.S., cannot travel there.
