Alabama Sues White House Over Syrian Refugees
[su_center_b]
Alabama is claiming the Obama administration never consulted with the state.
…three Alabama state officials are seeking a court order that the administration “may not place refugees within the State of Alabama unless and until they have fulfilled those consultation duties and obligations to the State of Alabama.”
Concerns about the resettlement of Syrian refugees — and, as the discussions continued, broader concerns about the refugee resettlement process in general — were raised by more than half of the nation’s governors in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris that left more than 100 people dead.
“Regarding security, Alabama shares the concerns of the intelligence community – including those of the Nation’s highest ranking intelligence officials – that sufficient information is lacking to ensure that certain refugees – including those from Syria – have neither provided material support to terrorists nor are terrorists themselves,” the lawsuit states.
