Utah Gov. Gary Herbert wrote a letter to President Donald Trump asking that more refugees be sent to Utah to resettle, “saying there is plenty of room and resources for those in need,” the Salt Lake Tribune reported on Nov. 1.
The story notes that the Oct. 24 letter “comes after the Trump administration cut the number of refugees the United States would accept over the next year to 18,000, and as the number of displaced people across the world has reached more than 70 million, according to the United Nations refugee agency.”
A copy of the letter to Trump is available here.
