MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WHNT) – Governor Robert Bentley announced Sunday evening that the state of Alabama will refuse Syrian refugees.
His press office issued a statement that reads in part:
“After full consideration of this weekend’s attacks of terror on innocent citizens in Paris, I will oppose any attempt to relocate Syrian refugees to Alabama through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. As your Governor, I will not stand complicit to a policy that places the citizens of Alabama in harm’s way.”
