LANSING, Mich — Nearly 10,000 refugees arriving in the United States over the next 11 months were relieved to learn that they would not be sent to Detroit, sources report.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder suspended efforts to relocate Syrians displaced by the country's civil war earlier this week "until a more reasonable and humane solution" could be found.
"They have already been through so much," Snyder told the Detroit Free Press. "To be sent to another city in ruins with a corrupt and ineffectual government seems like a cruel joke."
