Kansas orders limit on Syrian refugees amid Paris attacks
Kansas Governor Brownback, citing security concerns after the Paris attacks, blocks refugee resettlement funds for Syrian families. The Kansas program, run by DCF, funds private agencies but directs them not to resettle Syrians. Legal experts question authority to restrict federally funded, private nonprofit contracts. The ACLU calls the move unconstitutional and discriminatory.
