Office of the Governor - Greg Abbott - [Press Release] Governor Abbott Statement On Texas’ Intention To Withdraw From Refugee Resettlement Program

Office of the Governor - Greg Abbott - [Press Release] Governor Abbott Statement On Texas’ Intention To Withdraw From Refugee Resettlement Program:

"The State of Texas today sent a letter to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) giving official notice of its intention to withdraw from the federal refugee resettlement program should ORR not unconditionally approve Texas’ state plan by September 30th. Today’s letter comes after ORR’s unwillingness to approve Texas’ updated state refugee plan, which would require national security officials to ensure that refugees do not pose a security threat to Texas.
