World Relief issued a statement on Tuesday announcing that “A Christian Statement on Refugee Resettlement” had been sent to President-elect Donald Trump.

The statement was signed by leaders of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, state-level conservative Christian advocacy organizations and advocates for persecuted Christians worldwide.

The statement referenced Trump’s first term, during which he set a refugee ceiling of 50,000 in his initial week of office in 2017. Signatories called on him “to once again set the ceiling for refugee admissions at that level or higher, consistent with his commitments both to secure borders and to religious liberty and opportunity for all.” More Here
