The ACLU of Maine released the following statement in response to Gov. LePage's announcement that the State of Maine would no longer cooperate with the federal Refugee Resettlement Program:
"Gov. LePage wants to make us afraid of people who are different from us by saying things that are not true. The truth is, refugees are the most heavily vetted people in this country. Thankfully, the governor does not have the power to stop refugees from coming to Maine. Maine is a welcoming state, and we will continue to welcome refugees with open arms."
