Battleground Wisconsin: Swing state locked in clash over Somali refugee resettlement
Fox News
Wisconsin – a major battleground in the 2024 presidential election – is currently a battleground over a refugee resettlement controversy.
State legislators are set this week to advance a bill requiring greater transparency on resettlement decisions. Federal law already requires federal officials to "consult regularly (not less often than quarterly) with state and local governments" before settling the refugees to an area. The state legislation would specifically require consulting with "elected officials" accountable to the public – rather than just appointed officials – as well as a requirement for public comment.
State Rep. Karen Hurd, a Republican, introduced the bill, and noted the area is already stressed after the closure of two hospitals and strained school districts.
