The number of refugees accepted in the United States has dropped by almost a half in President Trump's first three months, compared to Barack Obama's last three.
While 25,000 refugees entered the country in the last three months of Obama's presidency, 13,000 were approved in the early months of Trump's administration, according to statistics released by the Department of Homeland Security.
The only common denominator between both administrations is the refugees' countries of origin. Under Trump and Obama many of them hailed from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Myanmar.
The executive travel ban Trump issued in January may account for the significant dip because it barred those coming from Muslim-majority countries including Syria, Somalia, Iran, Libya Sudan and Yemen.
Barack Obama's quota in 2016 may also explain the gap. The former president wanted to fulfill his target of admitting 110,000 refugees - a significantly small number compared to Germany, which accepts about a million each year - so significantly increased the number allowed in the country during his last three months.
Pew Research shows about 116,000 refugees were accepted in 2016 - the largest number in more than a decade.
Trump has drastically reduced the country's quota to 50,000 for 2017, although it's not set in stone because courts may later challenge.
What has also remained unchanged are the months of review, screenings and applications the refugees have to go through before they are accepted.
Both under Obama and Trump, most refugees need to be referred by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees - or must already have a relative in the USA before they can apply.
Officers from the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services then review all the information on refugees' applications before they are accepted in the United States.
This process, according to the Department of State, can take up to 24 months.
