Governor Kristi Noem Refuses to Accept Illegal Migrants in South Dakota. Iowa and South Carolina Block Unaccompanied Migrant Children.
Republican Governor Kristi Noem tweeted Wednesday morning, “South Dakota won’t be taking any illegal immigrants that the Biden Administration wants to relocate. My message to illegal immigrants… call me when you’re an American.” The post was a response to multiple media reports that the Biden administration is seeking to fly migrants from the southern border to northern and coastal states. On Monday, South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster issued an executive order forbidding unaccompanied migrant children to be assigned to the state’s foster homes and other facilities in the state. Earlier this month, Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds also rejected a request from the federal government to send migrant children into the state. The Biden administration is facing lawsuits over its border policies including lawsuits from Texas and Missouri. GEG
