HR 670 United States House · 119th Congress

Lady Liberty Act of 2025

HR 670, the Lady Liberty Act of 2025, sets a minimum annual refugee admission target of 125,000 people for fiscal years after 2026. It directly affects the U.S. refugee resettlement program by overriding the President’s usual authority to set admission numbers. The key provision amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require that the number of refugees admitted each year cannot fall below 125,000, regardless of presidential determination. This creates a fixed minimum floor for refugee admissions starting in fiscal year 2027.
