However, the specific number of people affected by the policy remains undisclosed. The concern lies in the fact that the policy specifically targets refugees admitted during President Joe Biden’s administration, citing an \"alarming erosion of the integrity\" of the refugee program during that time.\n\nRefugee advocates strongly disagree with the administration's assessment, arguing that the policy is intended to target and deport a significant number of refugees. Currently, the Trump administration is reviewing the cases of at least 185,000 individuals who are subject to this new policy.",
