The refugees from Syria have been resettled in 298 cities and towns in the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2012 to April 9, 2017, according to Refugee Processing Center.

In total, the U.S. has admitted 20,375 Syrian refugees since 2012. San Diego, California hosts the largest number of Syrian refugees.

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders to halt refugee admission in the U.S., though both orders are facing court challenges.
