Omaha Mayor Supports Refugee Resettlement

Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert is showing her support of refugees resettling in the city.  Stothert sent a letter yesterday to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noting that Omaha offers safe and affordable housing, excellent public education and job training for people starting a new life in the United States.  An executive order from the President called on all local governments to send a letter to the State Department by Christmas if they wanted to continue to welcome refugees in their cities.
