District 1 Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, is calling for a special session of the Idaho Legislature to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees in Idaho. “Under the guise of compassion, our current administration is dumping thousands of Islamic refugees across 190 communities in what can clearly be called an intentional invasion of our country,” Scott writes in her newsletter. Scott isn’t the only North Idaho elected official to oppose refugee resettlement in Idaho.
