Moving on the refugees and asylees (asylum seekers), in FY 2020 there were - new refugee arrivals and 42 new asylees. The primary difference between refugees and asylees is that refugees are not currently in the US while asylees are either already in the US or at a point of entry. Among asylees, 20 were affirmative asylees, who had proactively applied for asylum, and 22 were defensive asylees, meaning they are currently in removal proceedings in an immigration court.
