PORTLAND (WGME) – Governor Paul LePage says he's making big changes to how Maine participates in the federal refugee resettlement program.
Friday afternoon, when the governor was in the CBS 13 studio, he told our Jon Chrisos the state would stop helping resettle refugees here in Maine.
He's sent a letter to the president, ending the state's participation in the program.
It's a controversial move, but he says he's just lost confidence in the federal government's ability to safely and responsibly run the refugee program.
