Refugees are on the verge of losing food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNP) due to President Donald Trump's tax overhaul law, which limits which immigrants can access the SNAP food program and expands work requirements for others. The changes were part of broader restrictions on the refugee resettlement program and could result in up to 16,000 people potentially losing SNAP benefits. Refugees can only receive SNAP benefits once they become legal permanent residents, but the federal government is not processing their green card applications. This has left the refugee community feeling confused and uncertain about how they will feed their family. The Trump administration has also reduced the number of refugees allowed to 7,500 for the current fiscal year, the fewest since the program began in 1980, down from 125,000 in 2025 under President Joe Biden. There are also concerns about being swept up in raids and ending up in an immigration detention center due to fears of being held in immigration raids.
