What it does
The CARE Act of 2025 would prohibit the federal government from resettling refugees in any state or locality where the governor, state legislature, chief executive, or local legislature has formally disapproved of refugee resettlement. It amends Section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to require explicit governmental assent before refugee placement can occur. The bill affects refugee resettlement programs by giving state and local governments veto power over federal resettlement decisions within their jurisdictions. It applies to all fiscal years and overrides any conflicting provisions in current law.
