Minnesota County Votes to Reject Refugee Resettlement Under Trump Executive Order
Beltrami County in Minnesota has voted to reject refugee resettlement in their community following an executive order from President Donald Trump that allows state and local governments to determine whether or not they consent to accepting them.
Minnesota�s Democrat Governor Tim Walz has already vowed to take refugees on a state level, but that will not override the county�s decision.
The 3-2 vote on Tuesday was reportedly rowdy, as most residents strongly opposed taking refugees. The Star Tribune reports that the meeting was �filled with jeers, shouts and accusations among the more than 150 people.�
Baltrami County is now one of few counties nationwide to formally reject refugee resettlement.
