Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Moving on the refugees and asylees (asylum seekers), in FY 2020 there were 8 new refugee arrivals and 124 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, 34 were affirmative asylees, who had proactively applied for asylum, and 90 were defensive asylees, meaning they are currently in removal proceedings in an immigration court.

Sometimes immigrants, legal or otherwise, must be removed from their host country. In FY 2020, 217 people from Uzbekistan were determined inadmissible, meaning they were not approved to enter the US. A further 93 were apprehended within the US on suspicion of being there illegally, of which 40 were removed for non-criminal charges and 4 were removed on criminal charges, with the remainder either released on still awaiting a final decision.
