The House is slated to vote on legislation introduced by Republican lawmakers to restrict Iraqi and Syrian refugees from resettling in the United States. The Republican measures would require individual sign-offs by top federal officials for every person from Iraq and Syria seeking refugee status. President Obama has vowed to veto the legislation if it reaches his desk. This comes as a family of Syrian refugees who spent three years living in a camp in Jordan as they awaited placement in the United States were rerouted from Indiana and were instead resettled in Connecticut Wednesday. Indiana is one of more than two dozen states where the governors have said they do not want Syrian refugees resettled.
