Alabama Governor’s Office Sues Obama Administration Over Refugee Resettlement

Buzzfeed reports:

Alabama officials entered the legal fray over the resettlement of refugees in the U.S., suing the federal government over claims that the Obama administration has failed to consult with the state over its resettlement plans.

Alleging that the Obama administration is not complying with the requirement under the Refugee Act of 1980 that the federal government consult with states on resettlements, 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.”

Who can blame them?
