Texas governor threatens
lawsuit against resettlement contractor over Syrians, Posted by Ann Corcoran on November 30,

Abbott
vs. Miliband! The threat is directed at the International
Rescue Committee*** headed
by the former British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband. The lawsuit would pit
Abbott against Miliband who came to the US in 2013 to head up the largest
(financially) of the nine US resettlement contractors.
AUSTIN – Texas
officials are escalating their opposition to Syrian refugees with a new order
aimed specifically at resettlement groups that have indicated they will accept
people fleeing the war-torn country: change your mind or risk getting sued by the
state.
Texas health
commissioner Chris Traylor issued the first lawsuit threat over the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend in a letter to the Dallas branch of the
International Rescue Committee, which said earlier this month that it supports
accepting Syrian refugees.

“We have been
unable to achieve cooperation with your agency,” Traylor wrote in the letter,
which was released to the Houston Chronicle late Sunday, adding that, “Failure
by your organization to cooperate with the State of Texas as required by
federal law may result in the termination of your contract with the state and
other legal action.”
Similar letters
are expected to be sent to any refugee resettlement group that takes a similar
position against Gov. Greg Abbott.
Go to the Houston Chronicle for more and to see the letter.
Alas, it isn’t just Syrian Muslims going to Texas, but the state has been
a target for the resettlement of large numbers of Somali and Iraqi Muslims as
well.
Eight
of nine major resettlement contractors operating in Texas: Abbott may have to sue eight of the
nine federal resettlement contractors (this is from Part II of my Texas trilogy of posts).
These are the nine federal resettlement contractors:
- Church World Service
(CWS)
- Ethiopian Community
Development Council (ECDC)
- Episcopal Migration
Ministries (EMM)
- Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society (HIAS)
- International Rescue
Committee (IRC)
- US Committee for
Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
- Lutheran Immigration
and Refugee Services (LIRS)
- United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
- World Relief Corporation (WR)
Texas is the
number one resettlement state in the nation! And, never forget, Democrats and
the No borders agitators are working day and night to turn Red states
Blue—Texas is their number one target!
Recognizing how
lucrative the ‘welcoming’ Texas
turf is (contractors are paid by the head to resettle refugees), eight of the
nine contractors have set up shop somewhere in Texas. The only one with no office there yet is the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society!
