Gov. Gianforte calls for halt to Afghan refugee relocations to Montana
KBZK reports:
"Gov. Greg Gianforte is calling on the Biden Administration to halt the relocation of Afghan refugees to Montana following an alleged rape by one of those refugees in Missoula.
"We support providing a home for our Afghan allies that have been fully vetted. We had a tragic situation with alleged sexual assault yesterday, with someone who arrived here in the state earlier this month. I called on the Biden Administration. This individual did not have an SIV status, and I called on the Biden Administration to assure us that these refugees are fully vetted. It's not clear to us that that occurred in this situation. So, we're asking the Biden Administration to halt the placement of refugees here until they can assure us that the people that are being placed, our allies being placed here, are fully vetted." - Gov. Greg Gianforte (R-MT)"
