DALLAS (AP) — The Obama administration is telling a federal judge that officials in Texas haven't shown that there's any threat posed by Syrian refugees who are attempting to resettle in the state.
The federal government and a humanitarian group are asking the judge to reject efforts by Texas to keep the Syrians out.
According to the court filings, 12 Syrian refugees who are headed for Texas arrived in New York yesterday and today.
