‘We remain committed’: Local refugee resettlement group prepares for second Trump term
Description
About five weeks remain until President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath of office to begin his second term. Trump vowed in his campaign to limit immigration to the U.S. and carry out mass deportations. Those promises appealed to many voters.
We’re going to focus on one way that people leave their home countries and arrive in Minnesota — refugee resettlement.
During his first term, Trump cut the number of people who were allowed to enter under the country’s refugee program. And these numbers have since rebounded due to efforts by the Biden administration and private organizations that work on resettlement.
Joining Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about preparing for the next administration is Jocelyn Wyatt, the CEO of Alight, which works with refugees resettling in Minnesota.
