Lawmakers tour the Afghan refugee camp at Fort McCoy.
Yesterday U.S. Congresswomen Gwen Moore from Milwaukee and Ilhan Omar from Minneapolis visited the refugees at the request of the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition. The Democrat lawmakers were looking into the quality of care and treatment of the almost 13-thousand refugees who are on base. Both Moore and Omar praised the military’s handling of the situation saying the refugees are being well taken care of.
The Congresswomen said some of refugees could be getting released into the community as early as November.
