Refugee Resettlement, Devastated by Trump, Finds a Long Road to Recovery

This project chronicles the massive shifts in refugee resettlement in the United States between 2016 and 2020. Refugee admissions dropped by nearly 90% over that period, reaching the lowest level in modern U.S. history. Policymakers changed who was admitted along demographic lines. And the U.S.’s capacity to resettle refugees was significantly hampered, making it an uphill challenge f0r the next administration to undo the damage. I conducted the data visualization, analysis, research, and writing for my thesis at the Maryland Institute College of Art’s Data Analytics and Visualization Master’s program, and later built the webpage in General Assembly’s Front-End Web Development course.
