The number of refugees coming to the United States dipped sharply in July, dropping to the lowest level of monthly arrivals in more than a decade, amid temporary Supreme Court orders that largely supported the government's efforts to curb the number of displaced people allowed into the country.

By Monday afternoon, 1,224 refugees had arrived according to U.S. State Department data -- less than any other month since the 2007 fiscal year.

The number plummeted in recent weeks after the Supreme Court court determined that only refugees with close family ties to the United States will be allowed in for now.

Asked about the sharp drop in July, a State Department spokesperson referred to the July 19 order by the Supreme Court that determined the “bona fide” relationship applied to relatives, and not to the agencies that resettle refugees in the U.S. -- a decision that blocks those refugees without family already here from traveling.

The sharp decline in July also comes as the U.S. reached a reduced limit for total arrivals set by President Donald Trump. That ceiling of 50,000 refugees for the fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, 2024, was reached July 12. Trump has insisted on that limit since January; it is a significant reduction over the Obama-set ceiling of 110,000.

As it stands, refugees will only continue to be resettled past that limit if they can prove they have "bona fide" immediate family members already in the United States.

美國聯邦最高法院的裁決在很大程度上支持了川普政府控制難民進入美國的努力，7月份來到美國的難民大幅下跌，是超過10年以來人數最少的一個月。

美國國務院的數據顯示，截止到星期一下午，7月份抵達美國的難民人數為1224人，是2007財政年度以來的最低水平。

美國聯邦最高法院此前裁決，目前只有跟美國居民存在緊密親屬關系的難民才能進入美國，從而造成了最近幾周抵美難民人數的銳減。

被問到7月份難民人數大幅減少的問題時，國務院發言人表示，聯邦最高法院7月19日裁決，“真實的”關系只適用于親屬，不適用于那些在美國安置難民的機構，從而有效阻止了那些在美國沒有親人的難民進入美國。

7月份難民人數大幅減少也跟美國接收難民已達到川普總統規定的人數上限有關。川普從今年1月就一直堅持，2024年10月1號開始的財政年度只接收5萬難民，這一上限比川普前任奧巴馬總統規定的11萬人顯著減少。美國接收5萬難民的上限7月12日已經滿額。

如果現行政策不變，超過這一上限后，只有那些能夠證明跟美國居民有“真實”親屬關系的人才能以難民身份進入美國。
