Earlier this week, we brought you the story about the Syrian refugee that went missing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Now, we have an update on the refugee’s whereabouts.
The Department of Homeland Security has no idea where he is. Furthermore, they cannot keep track of him due to his “constitutional rights.”
The Hayride has more:
Earlier in the week, the Hayride reported on a “missing” Syrian refugee that had apparently left the Baton Rouge area. Then, the Louisiana State Police confirmed that the refugee was headed to Washington DC to resettle with family in the country’s capitol.
Once in Washington DC, the refugee was apparently supposed to “check in” with authorities there, according to state officials.
However, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who has been on top of the issue ever since, said he spoke with the Department of Homeland Security today and they confirmed to him that they do not, in fact, know where the refugee is.
Homeland Security say they have no information on where the Syrian refugee is. Also, they said the refugee could not be “kept up with” because of his constitutional rights, according to a spokesman for Vitter.
Senator Vitter, who is also running for Louisiana governor, blasted the failure to track the refugee as “political correctness gone insane.” He has also called it a wildly dangerous policy.
This comes as the House of Representatives voted today on bipartisan lines to suspend the admission of additional Syrian refugees. The vote was 289-137 and passed with a veto-proof majority.
