Why This Matters
The CARE Act of 2025 allows states and local governments to stop refugee resettlement if they formally disapprove. This means that refugees cannot settle in areas where local leaders do not want them.
If you live in a state or locality that disapproves of refugee resettlement, refugees will not be allowed to settle there.
Affects: This bill affects refugees seeking safety and states or localities that may oppose their resettlement.
