A number of states are saying that they welcome the settlement of refugees in their states in response to an executive order signed by President Trump that gives states the right to refuse to allow refugees by January 21, 2020.

Republican governors “in several predominantly red states announced this week that they plan to continue to accept refugees,” Axios reported.

“While Republicans widely support Trump’s restrictive immigration policies, local and state officials have been unwilling to push out those who have been forced from their homes and gone thorough stringent vetting processes required to become a U.S. refugee,” wrote Rashaan Ayesh and Stef W. Kight.

The U.S. State Department has posted a list of state and localities that have agreed to accept refugees.
