The State of Utah set up an 11 member board last Monday to begin monitoring services to refugees in the state. This article says that Utah has 20,000 refugees.
All existing state, county and private-service providers are being asked to make a “good faith effort” to hold themselves accountable for the successful delivery of services to refugees throughout the state, DePaulis [Dir. Utah Department of Community and Culture] said. “Each government entity dealing with refugees is to report back to the new state office the steps they intend to take to fill in or reduce the gaps cited by the working group.”
Not a word was mentioned in the article about the rape and murder last month of the little Karen refugee girl by another refugee in the building. That case seems to have disappeared into a black hole.
