The state of Tennessee has filed a lawsuit against the federal government challenging the constitutionality of its refugee resettlement program. "The state funds commandeered to support the federal government's refugee resettlement program deprive plaintiffs of scarce financial resources that are critical for protecting the welfare, health, and safety of all Tennesseans," the suit says. The Thomas More Law Center, a public-interest firm that defends Christian values, said in a press statement that Tennessee was the first state to challenge the constitutionality of the refugee resettlement program. The lawsuit was the result of a resolution passed last year that demanded the state file a lawsuit over the refugee program. He also has said that he didn't think that the people who are coming into the country to do harm are doing it under the refugee resettlement program.
